2015 Map of Plainville SE

About this map

The Saline River meanders across this rural section of Ellis County, shaping the landscape as it flows eastward through the northern half of the quadrangle. In the south, the headwaters of the N Fork Big Cr drain the higher ground. The map reveals a strictly gridded agricultural landscape, primarily defined by the Public Land Survey System boundaries including t11s r18w and t12s r18w. This layout is reflected in the local road network, where routes like Severin Rd and Buckeye Rd follow section lines. Local history and genealogy interest is anchored by the Saint Severin Cem in the southeastern corner, while the presence of Horse Thief Canyon Ave and St John - St Andrew Rd suggests the historical pathways between early settlements and family homesteads, many of which are connected by the long-established Homestead Rd.
