2015 Map of Ness City SW

About this map

The Harold settlement stands near the center of this rural Kansas landscape, situated just north of where the Pawnee River meanders across the southern plains. This area of Ness County is defined by its drainage systems, with the S Fork Walnut Cr cutting through the northwestern corner and the seasonally named Guzzlers Gulch and South Fork Guzzlers Gulch shaping the local topography. The map reveals a strictly organized grid of county roads, such as Co RD 528 and Y RD, which segment the terrain into the sections of the Public Land Survey System. Genealogists may find particular interest in the Kunze Cem, a small landmark located along the eastern edge of the quadrangle. The boundary between Ness Co and Hodgeman Co is clearly delineated along the southern margin, marking the transition between these two western Kansas counties.
