2015 Map of Ransom

About this map

Ransom serves as the central hub for this portion of the Kansas plains, situated at the junction of Old State Hwy 4 and a grid of rural section roads. The town's layout is defined by a traditional street grid including Kansas Ave, Kentucky Ave, and Ogden St. Just south of the main settlement lies the Ransom Cem, a key landmark for local genealogical research. The surrounding landscape is carved by the intermittent drainages of Sand Cr, E Br Sand Cr, and Page Cr, which dictate the topography across the Trego County and Ness County line. This 2015 survey illustrates a quintessential Western Kansas agricultural environment, where the rigid geometry of the Public Land Survey System meets the winding natural paths of prairie creeks.
