2015 Map of Upland

About this map

Upland and its surrounding agricultural terrain in Dickinson County are defined by a strict grid of section-line roads and the winding path of Chapman Cr. This 2015 survey reveals the persistence of early Kansas settlement patterns, where small communities like Sutphen and Moonlight serve as anchor points for the rural landscape. Genealogists will find several burial grounds mapped across these townships, including Liberty Cem near Upland and Jones Cem situated along the creek. The topography transitions from the flat upland plains to the more varied drainage basins of Curtis Cr in the northeast. The road system, labeled with a systematic coordinate style such as 3400 Ave and Paint Rd, reflects the modern organization of the county's historical farm-to-market network.
