About this map

Turon serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in South Central Kansas, where the intersection of Sun City Rd and local streets like Price St and 3rd Ave defines the town's grid. The surrounding countryside is divided by a series of straight-line section roads, including Pleasant Valley Rd and Fountain Green Rd, which facilitate transport between dispersed family farms and ranching operations.

Evidence of the area's early settlement and genealogy is found in three distinct burial grounds: Neola Cem in the north, Turin Cem near the center, and Pleasant Valley Cem to the southwest. The terrain is gently drained by watercourses such as Wolf Cr and Silver Cr, while the jurisdictional boundaries of Stafford, Reno, and Pratt counties meet here, highlighting the map's position at a significant regional corner.
