2009 Map of Modoc SW

About this map

Lydia Methodist Cemetery stands as a focal point for family history in this western Kansas landscape, which is largely defined by the agricultural grid of Wichita County. The terrain is bisected by the ephemeral drainage of White Woman Creek in the north and Sand Creek through the center, illustrating the subtle topography of the High Plains. While the map is dominated by section lines and rural routes like Co RD E and Co RD 22, it reveals the persistence of early 20th-century road networks, including the designated Fas 1679. This survey provides a clear view of the area before modern consolidation altered many of the smaller rural landmarks, preserving the location of local features like Crozier Draw for researchers tracing local land use or genealogy.
