About this map

Ness City serves as the focal point of this West Central Kansas landscape, where the street grid of the county seat meets the expansive drainage basins of the Walnut Creek forks. The city's geography is defined by its position between the N Fork Walnut Cr and the S Fork Walnut Cr, with local landmarks like the Ness City Municipal Airport and the Sacred Heart Cem situated on the outskirts. The mapping reveals a rural infrastructure organized around sectional roads such as W 160 Rd and W 120 Rd, reflecting the late-era agricultural layout of the High Plains.

Water management and natural drainage are evident through the presence of Goose Lake and several intermittent tributaries including Wild Horse Cr and Long Br. Beyond the city limits, the landscape remains largely dedicated to farming and ranching, punctuated by quiet sites like the Chenoworth Cem to the east. This survey provides a clear view of the intersection between established urban centers and the vast, sectioned prairie terrain of Ness County.
