2015 Map of Quincy

About this map

The settlement of Quincy anchors this southeastern Kansas landscape, where the prairie transitions into a network of creek drainages along the border of Greenwood and Woodson Counties. This mid-2010s survey reveals a deeply rural character defined by section-line roads like Virgil Vernon Rd and 110th Rd, which navigate the undulating terrain between various watercourses. The local history of the area is centered at the Quincy Cem, located just east of the primary townsite. Hydrology plays a central role in the geography here, with the Verdigris River cutting through the southwestern corner, while numerous tributaries including Turkey Creek, Owl Creek, and Brazil Creek carve paths through the surrounding rangeland. The map illustrates a traditional Midwestern land pattern of township and range divisions, such as t24s r13e, where agriculture and open space remain the dominant features.
