2018 Map of Park

About this map

The town of Park serves as the primary hub in this portion of Gove County, where the grid of city streets meets the wide agricultural expanse of the High Plains. Located in the northwestern corner of the sheet, the town’s layout reflects the influence of the railroad and early highway development, with the community situated just south of the tracks. The surrounding landscape is defined by subtle drainage patterns, notably the path of Cow Draw to the north and the meandering Plum Cr to the east. These intermittent waterways and draws provide the primary relief in an otherwise flat, productive prairie. The transition from the established street grid of the town to the systematic section line roads illustrates the late-20th and early-21st-century agricultural organization that continues to define this region of Kansas.
