2009 Map of Tennis NE

About this map

Shoupe Rd and N Sixteen Mile Rd anchor this high-plains landscape in Finney County, Kansas, during the late 2000s. The survey reveals a rigid, square-mile grid system typical of Western Kansas agriculture, where section lines double as the local transportation network. Unlike more populated areas, this quadrant is defined by its wide-open spaces and large-scale land management, with major east-west corridors like E Tennis Rd and E Gano Rd facilitating movement across the prairie. The map shows scattered rural residences and agricultural buildings, such as those along E Sterling Rd and E Sondregger Rd. This layout reflects the enduring legacy of the Homestead Act and the systematic township and range surveying that shaped the region's development into a major grain-producing territory.
