2021 Map of Mindenmines

About this map

Mindenmines sits at the heart of this landscape along the Kansas-Missouri state line, where the residential grid of 3rd St and Pacific St meets the rural expanses of Barton County. The terrain is defined by a complex network of small waterways and engineered water bodies, including Gardner Farms Lake and the Number 180 Reservoir, which interrupt the traditional section-line road system. For genealogists, the map identifies local burial sites such as Mindenmines Cem and Yale Cem, providing precise locations for family history research. The presence of numerous small ponds and the drainage of Glendale Fork suggest a history of land modification, likely tied to the region's historical mining activities, even as much of the area has transitioned back to agricultural use or natural water storage.
