2015 Map of Ness City SE

About this map

The Pawnee River meanders across the southern half of this Kansas landscape, serving as a primary geographical anchor for the rural community of Riverside. This high-plains region is defined by its rectilinear section lines and a grid of rural roads such as 40 Rd and W Rd that reflect the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System. Genealogists will find particular value in the location of Riverside Cem, situated just north of the river's bend and the primary settlement. The terrain transitions south into the northern edge of Hodgeman County, marked by the Ness Co Hodgeman Co boundary line. This 2015 survey illustrates a modern agricultural landscape that maintains the same sparse settlement patterns established a century prior.
