2018 Map of Radium

About this map

Radium and Ray anchor this agricultural landscape in the late 2010s, situated along the county line where Pawnee and Stafford Counties meet. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Arkansas River in the northwest, accompanied by smaller drainage systems such as Ash Creek and Pickle Creek. This survey captures a highly organized grid of rural roads, including Radium Road and 40th Avenue, which navigate a landscape dotted with numerous small depressions and seasonal wetlands characteristic of the region. Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds, such as Pleasant Ridge Cemetery in the northeast corner and Fertig Cemetery near the center of the quadrangle. The map illustrates the persistent structure of Kansas section lines and the enduring presence of these small rural communities amidst a primarily agrarian environment.
