2012 Map of Plainville SW

About this map

The Saline River meanders across this rural Ellis County landscape, creating a distinct hydrological corridor defined by several small tributaries including Tomcat Cr and E Spring Cr. The region is organized by a strict sectional grid of gravel and paved roads that reflect the late-20th-century agricultural layout of north-central Kansas. For those tracing local history, the map preserves the locations of vital community anchors such as Saint Andrew Cem, situated near Saint John St Andrew Rd, and Hyacinth Cem at the southern edge. The naming of thoroughfares like Sleepy Hollow Rd and Severin Rd hints at the historic farmsteads and rural neighborhoods that have shaped this portion of the Kansas plains since the early days of settlement.
