2015 Map of Prairie View

About this map

Prairie View serves as the central hub of this northern Kansas landscape, situated where the local road network converges. The township is characterized by a series of north-south and east-west routes named after Indigenous peoples, such as W Navajo Rd, W Osage Rd, and W Mohawk Rd. These thoroughfares divide the agricultural plains and manage the drainage of several local waterways including Beaver Cr, Deer Cr, and Wildcat Cr. For genealogists, the map provides precise locations for the Prairie View Cem and the Luctor Cem further north. The presence of the Van Pak Airport just east of the main settlement reflects the modern aviation infrastructure supporting this rural Phillips County community, while the rectilinear survey grid of t2s r20w and surrounding townships preserves the original land division patterns of the High Plains.
