About this map

Moundridge serves as the central hub of this prairie landscape, situated near the intersection of Old Us Hwy 81 and the modern highway corridor. The town layout is clearly defined by local streets such as Christian Ave and Cole ST, extending toward the Moundridge Municipal Airport to the east. The surrounding rural areas of McPherson and Harvey counties are marked by several significant burial grounds, including Mound Cem, West Zion Cem, and Schlender Cem, which provide valuable location data for genealogists and local historians.

The hydrology of the region is dominated by winding watercourses like Black Kettle Cr and Sand Cr, which cut through the agricultural sections. These creeks, along with Turkey Cr in the southwest, dictate the placement of rural roads like Cheyenne RD and Arapaho RD that follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. The map captures the organized transition from town life to the open agricultural fields of central Kansas.
