2015 Map of Park

About this map

Park's grid of residential streets sits at the northern edge of Gove County, where the plains are etched by the headwaters of the Smoky Hill River system. This 2015 survey documents the town's layout, centered around a Po and the prominent Sacred Heart Cem just to the east. The surrounding landscape is defined by the Jeffersonian grid of the Public Land Survey System, with roads like Gove AA and Gove Z marking the section lines. The terrain is gently bisected by the drainages of Big Cr, Plum Cr, and Cow Draw, which break the high-plains plateau into a series of shallow valleys. This map illustrates the intersection of mid-century infrastructure and early 20th-century settlement patterns, showcasing the grid-based agriculture and local transportation networks that continue to sustain this High Plains community.
