2012 Map of Russell

About this map

The city of Russell serves as the focal point of this Central Kansas landscape, where the grid of the town site meets the meandering path of the Saline River to the north. As the county seat, the area shows a clear transition from urban development to an extractive and agricultural economy. The presence of the Claussen Oil Field in the northwest quadrant indicates the region's long-standing connection to petroleum production, while the Russell Municipal Airport and Russell County Fairgrounds mark significant local infrastructure. Natural drainages like Paradise Cr and Cedar Cr break the geometric regularity of the section lines and rural roads such as Shoreline Rd and Reservoir Rd, illustrating how the high plains topography dictates the layout of modern Kansas transit and industry.
