2022 Map of Portis NE

About this map

North Kansas ranchland and agricultural fields are deeply incised by the drainage network of Oak Cr and its many branches in this northern Smith County landscape. The area is defined by a grid of section roads, including 250 RD and 260 RD, which navigate the undulating terrain between the creek valleys. Evidence of the region’s long-standing rural community is preserved at the North Oak Creek Cem and South Oak Creek Cem, both located near the winding path of Oak Cr. The eastern edge of the map follows the Smith Co Jewell Co line, where the topography transitions toward the watershed of Buck Cr. This 2022 survey provides a clear view of the modern rural infrastructure, showing the persistence of traditional family-named water bodies like Frog Cr and Middle Oak Cr in a landscape primarily dedicated to cattle and crops.
