2012 Map of Milan

About this map

Milan serves as the primary hub of this rural landscape, situated just north of the Chikaskia River in Sumner County. The 2012 survey illustrates the grid-based settlement pattern of the Kansas plains, where small communities like Ewell are connected by a precise network of section-line roads such as N Milan Rd and W 60th Ave N. This map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting several distinct burial sites including the Amish Cem and Spring Hill Cem in the northern reaches, as well as the Milan Cem located north of the main township. Water drainage is a defining characteristic of the terrain, with numerous watercourses like Spring Cr, Silver Cr, and Shore Cr meandering through the agricultural plots toward the river in the south. The presence of a Po in Milan marks the continued role of the town as a local service center for the surrounding farming community.
