2009 Map of Oberlin

About this map

Oberlin serves as the focal point of this Northwest Kansas landscape, situated at the confluence of several watercourses including Sappa Creek and the North Fork Sappa Creek. The town's grid is anchored by routes such as W Frontier Pkwy and S Penn Ave, reflecting its role as a regional hub for the surrounding agricultural prairie. Evidence of the local economy is visible in the presence of aviation and energy infrastructure, notably the Pollnow Oil Field and the R and D Aerial Spraying Airport. The terrain is defined by the gradual drainage of the High Plains, where Johnson Draw feeds into the creek system. This 2009 survey highlights a community balancing traditional land use with modern developments like the Oberlin Municipal Airport, providing a clear view of the town's footprint before later 21st-century changes.
