About this map

The city of Norton serves as the central hub of this northern Kansas landscape, where the local street grid expands around E Main St and W Washington St. To the south, the waters of Keith Sebelius Lake are a dominant geographic feature, created by the impoundment of Prairie Dog Cr. The terrain is characterized by the dissected drainage of several smaller waterways, including Robinson Cr and Spring Cr, which carve through the plains toward the lake basin.

Local history and community infrastructure are well-documented, from the Cope Cem south of the lake to the Norton Municipal Airport located just north of the city limits. The map details the transition from the dense residential blocks of the town center to the vast agricultural sections defined by the Public Land Survey System, such as t2s r23w. Notable natural landmarks include Horseshoe Hill, which rises above the surrounding valley near the intersection of several rural routes like Pdra RD.
