2009 Map of Ogden

About this map

The Ogden community and the sprawling grounds of Camp Funston dominate the northern landscape of this Riley County survey, situated at a strategic bend of the Kansas River. The military presence is central to the area's geography, marked by the Funston Monument and the various hills like Campbell Hill and Sumner Hill that overlook the valley floor. Beyond the structured streets of the cantonment and the settlement of Packers Camp, the land transitions into a network of creek drainages and rural farm-to-market roads. Several historic burial grounds, including Saint Patricks Cemetery and Ogden Cemetery, serve as important markers of the early families who settled this river valley. To the south and east, the terrain becomes increasingly defined by the meandering paths of Clarks Creek and McDowell Creek, where long-standing landmarks like Saint Marys Cemetery and the Manhattan Raceway reflect the area's diverse community development.
