2022 Map of Rago

About this map

Rago and Duquoin anchor this rural landscape in south-central Kansas, where the township lines of Kingman and Harper counties meet. The area is defined by a dendritic network of prairie streams including Red Creek, Rose Bud Creek, and Blue Stem Creek, which drain the gently rolling plains. These watercourses likely dictated the early settlement patterns and road placements, such as S State Rd 14, which bisects the quadrangle vertically. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies the Rago Cem and Duquoin Cem, alongside the centralized Benningtons Lake. The grid-based road system, with numbered avenues like SE 10 Ave and SE 60 Ave, illustrates the enduring structure of the Public Land Survey System that organized the Kansas wheat belt.
