2022 Map of Modoc

About this map

Modoc stands as a quiet anchor in western Scott County, situated along a vast grid of section roads that define this agricultural landscape. The township structure is clearly marked through t18s r34w and t18s r33w, illustrating the geometric precision of the Public Land Survey System in Kansas. A significant local landmark for genealogists and family historians is the Modoc Cem, located north of the primary settlement area near W RD 160. The terrain is shaped by intermittent drainage systems, notably the path of Lion Cr and the winding course of Rocky Draw to the south. These features reveal the natural hydrology of the plains, where small draws and creeks break the otherwise flat horizon. Roads like S Cherokee Rd and S Apache Rd connect scattered farmsteads, reflecting a rural economy built on large-scale land management and seasonal water sources.
