2022 Map of Portland

About this map

Portland sits at the geographic heart of this Sumner County landscape, situated along a grid of agricultural section lines in southern Kansas. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Meridian Cr, Bitter Cr, and Dry Cr, which carve through the plains. A strictly organized road network, including S Meridian Rd and S Woodlawn Rd, provides the structure for the rural farmsteads and fields that dominate the township. To the northeast, Forest Hill Cem serves as a significant local landmark for genealogical research, while the intersection of S Hydraulic Rd and E 160th St S marks a primary transit point near the center of the township. This survey provides a clear view of the modern rural infrastructure and the persistent natural drainage patterns that have shaped this prairie region for generations.
