2009 Map of Ness City SE

About this map

The Pawnee River meanders across this rural landscape in Ness County, defining the local geography as it flows through the small settlement of Riverside. This 2009 survey highlights the intersection of agricultural grid-lines and the natural hydrology of the High Plains, where the river and Sand Creek cut through the sections of the Kansas prairie. Local industry and ancestry are represented by the Riverside Oil Field and the Riverside Cemetery, which stand as markers of the community's economic and familial history. A network of rural section roads, such as E 70 Rd and the more rugged S V Rd 4WD, provides a detailed view of the infrastructure supporting this remote part of the state, tracing the paths that connect isolated farmsteads and local landmarks.
