About this map

Russell Springs serves as the focal point of this Logan County landscape, situated along the northern banks of the Smoky Hill River. The grid of the town is clearly defined by local thoroughfares like Winona Ave and Broadway St, reflecting the structured settlement patterns of the High Plains. To the west of the town site, the Russell Springs Cem provides a point of significant interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the early families of the region.

The topography is defined by numerous drainage systems, including W Spring Cr, E Spring Cr, and Spring Cr, which carve through the surrounding tablelands. These watercourses were vital for sustaining early ranching and agriculture in an area where names like Plains, Navajo, and Mustang signify the grazing and rangeland character of the territory. The survey captures the intersection of natural river valley geography with the systematic township and range divisions of Western Kansas.
