2018 Map of Turkville

About this map

Turkville sits along the winding course of the Saline River in this Ellis County landscape, where the prairie is dissected by narrow drainages like Sweetwater Cr. The settlement pattern is defined by a grid of rural roads, including Hadley Range Ave, Codell Ave, and Toulon Ave, which provide access to the dispersed farmsteads characteristic of the High Plains. Evidence of early settlement is preserved at the Norman Cem near Saline River Rd, reflecting the community's ancestral ties to the land. The topography transitions from the river valley to higher ground marked by routes such as St John - St Andrew Rd and Buckeye Rd. This 2018 survey illustrates the persistent agricultural and ranching layout of the region, where township boundaries like t11s r17w and t11s r16w continue to organize the landscape nearly a century after initial homesteading.
