About this map

Norwich and the surrounding agricultural landscape are documented here at a point where the boundaries of four Kansas counties — Kingman, Sedgwick, Sumner, and Harper — converge. The survey illustrates a highly regular section-line road network, typical of the Great Plains, punctuated by small rural settlements and essential local landmarks. To the east, the community of Milton sits near the headwaters of N Br State Cr, while the western portion of the map is defined by the winding course of Sandy Cr.

Genealogists and local historians can find several established burial sites, including Upchurch Cem to the northwest, Stitch Cem near the Sumner county line, and Eden Cem on the eastern edge. The map also records the location of the Norwich Airport, situated just east of the main townsite. Various branches of the local creek system, such as Sand Cr and Spring Cr, provide the natural drainage for this productive farming region during the late 2010s.
