2009 Map of Modoc

About this map

Modoc stands as a primary settlement in this western Kansas landscape, defined by the organized grid of Scott County section lines. The rural character of the area is anchored by the Modoc Cemetery to the north, a vital site for genealogical research in this agricultural region. Waterways like Lion Creek and the long expanse of Rocky Draw snake across the otherwise geometric terrain, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that dictate the placement of farmsteads and transport routes. A network of named corridors, including Modoc Ln and S Cherokee Rd, connects the scattered developments. The map reveals a transition from traditional agriculture toward modern land division, visible in the detailed residential platting just east of the main Modoc townsite.
