2012 Map of Moundridge

About this map

Moundridge serves as the focal point of this McPherson County survey, illustrating the grid of a classic Kansas agricultural and transit hub. The landscape is etched by the courses of Sand Cr and Black Kettle Cr, which wind through a township defined by a rigid section-line road system including Cheyenne Rd and Arapaho Rd. Local history is anchored by several distinct burial grounds, such as Mound Cem, Schlender Cem, and the First Christian Cem, reflecting the area's pioneer and denominational roots. The map also documents the region's energy and infrastructure interests, noting the Harmac Oil Field to the west and the Sperling Oil Field in the southeast corner. Transportation is well-represented by the Moundridge Municipal Airfield and the historic path of Old US Hwy 81, which angles across the prairie north of the town center.
