About this map

Moundridge serves as the central hub of this mid-1960s Kansas landscape, situated at the intersection of the Missouri Pacific railroad and local thoroughfares. The town exhibits a clear grid pattern, including a water tank and a Memorial Home for the Aged at its eastern edge. Beyond the town limits, the agricultural character of McPherson and Harvey Counties is evident through a network of section lines and rural institutions.

Several country landmarks reflect the spiritual and educational history of the prairie, such as Eden Ch and Hopefield Ch, alongside local schoolhouses like Cloverleaf Sch and Liberty Sch. The terrain is drained by several waterways, most notably Turkey Creek, Sand Creek, and Black Kettle Creek. Sand extraction operations, marked as sandpits, are scattered near the creeks, while numerous family-named burial grounds like Schlender Cem and Mound Cem dot the countryside.
