About this map

Moundridge serves as the central hub of this agricultural and energy landscape in McPherson County. The town's layout is defined by a grid of residential streets like Cole St and 4th St, bordered to the east by the Moundridge Municipal Airfield. The surrounding prairie is bisected by several watercourses, most notably Black Kettle Creek and Sand Creek, which wind through a patchwork of section-line roads with names reflecting indigenous and local history, such as Arapaho Rd and Cherokee Rd.

Local heritage is anchored by several burial grounds scattered across the township, including Mound Cemetery, West Zion Cemetery, and Schlender Cemetery. The region's economic character is visible in the presence of the Harmac Oil Field to the west and the Sperling Oil Field in the southeast corner. This map documents a modern period of steady rural industry where tradition and development coincide along the plains.
