2018 Map of Murdock

About this map

The South Fork Ninnescah River meanders across this rural Kingman County landscape, providing the primary drainage for a network of agricultural lands defined by a strict section-line grid. This modern 2018 survey captures the small communities of Murdock and Belmont, which serve as quiet hubs in a region dominated by wide-open prairie and creek valleys. The map illustrates the persistence of local history through the maintenance of the Murdock Cem and Greenwood Cem, providing critical landmarks for genealogists and local historians. Tributaries such as Smoots Cr, Sand Cr, and Coon Cr cross the township lines of T28S R6W and T29S R5W, carving subtle topography into the Kansas plains. The extensive road system, including Co RD 364 and several numbered avenues, reveals the enduring structure of the rural township system.
