2018 Map of Pretty Prairie SW

About this map

The North Fork Ninnescah River and its numerous tributaries, including Goose Cr and Silver Cr, define the drainage patterns of this section of south-central Kansas. The landscape is organized by a strict sectional road grid, with primary thoroughfares such as Castleton Rd and Sun City Rd facilitating movement through the rural township. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies specific points of local heritage including the Pleasant Hill Cem located near the western boundary and the Sego Cem situated further east. These cemeteries, alongside family-named roads like Hodge Rd and Sego Rd, reflect the late 19th and early 20th-century settlement patterns of Reno County. The absence of concentrated urban centers highlights a persisting agricultural character, where land use is dictated by the subtle topography of the prairie.
