About this map

Phillipsburg anchors the southern edge of this Phillips County landscape, where the local street grid is neatly organized from A St through I St and 1st St to 5th St. This area serves as a primary hub for northern Kansas, defined by its rigid section-line road network that segments the prairie into agricultural squares. Names like W Kiowa Rd, W Navajo Rd, and W Osage Rd mark these rural routes, reflecting a systematic approach to land division and movement across the plains.

Several creek systems provide topographical relief to the upland plains, including Spring Cr and Plotner Cr. For genealogists and local historians, the placement of the Iowa Union Cem and Pleasant Hill Cem offers vital spatial context for early families of the region. The map also records distinctive local landforms such as Brushy Draw and the various forks of W Big Cr and E Big Cr, which shaped the drainage and development patterns of the township.
