About this map

The Saline River cuts a winding path through this portion of Ellis County, shaping a landscape defined by entrenched drainage patterns including Tomcat Cr and E Spring Cr. The rural character of the area is etched into a grid of section roads like Riverview Rd and Severin Rd, which navigate the undulating terrain of the Kansas plains.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by two significant landmarks in the eastern half of the sheet. Saint Andrew Cem, located near the junction of St John - St Andrew Rd and Hyacinth Ave, and Hyacinth Cem to the south, provide physical touchstones for the families who settled this region. The absence of large municipal centers highlights a dispersed agricultural pattern, where the road network, including the evocatively named Sleepy Hollow Rd, connects isolated farmsteads across the township lines.
