2015 Map of Portland

About this map

The small settlement of Portland sits at the heart of this Sumner County landscape, defined by a rigid grid of rural roads and the meandering paths of local waterways. The terrain is drained by Bitter Cr, Meridian Cr, and Dry Cr, which cut through the agricultural sections of the township. Local history and genealogy researchers will find Forest Hill Cem located in the northern portion of the survey area, a quiet landmark amidst the expansive farm plots. The map detail highlights the precision of the Public Land Survey System, with township and range boundaries such as t34s r1e and t35s r1e clearly delineated. This 2015 data provides a clear view of the modern rural infrastructure, showing how thoroughfares like E 160th St S and S Hydraulic Rd continue to organize the Kansas prairie long after the initial homesteading era.
