2018 Map of Utica

About this map

Utica sits as a primary settlement in this western Kansas landscape, characterized by its precise grid of streets including Bell St, Lincoln St, and Stanley St. The town is supported by a network of rural roads such as W 270 Rd and N E Rd that connect the scattered farmsteads of Ness County. Northeast of the main town site, the community's history is anchored by the Utica Cem. Northward across the county line in Gove County lies the small settlement of Alanthus, positioned near the headwaters of the regional drainage system. The terrain is defined by the carved paths of numerous seasonal waterways, most notably the winding courses of Wild Horse Cr, Big Windy Cr, and the N Fork Forrester Cr. These creeks create a rolling topography that contrasts with the geometric precision of the township and range survey lines.
