2015 Map of Modoc SW

About this map

Lydia Methodist Cem sits near the southern boundary of Wichita County, serving as a primary landmark for family historians researching this sparsely settled agricultural landscape. The terrain is defined by the intermittent drainage patterns of White Woman Cr and Sand Cr, which cut eastward through the High Plains. While the map is dominated by the geometric precision of the Public Land Survey System, the natural topography reveals itself in features like Crozier Draw in the southeast. A network of section roads, including Marienthal Rd and Co Rd E, connects the isolated farmsteads and agricultural plots that characterize this portion of the Kansas interior during the early twenty-first century.
