About this map

Terra Cotta anchors the northern landscape of this Ellsworth County region, situated near the distinctive terrain of Buzzard Roost. The area is defined by its drainage systems, including W Spring Cr and the meandering Sand Cr, which flow through a network of section-line roads like Avenue K and 31st Rd. Genealogists will find the Terra Cotta Cem and Summit Cem as key points of interest for local family history.

Kanopolis Lake dominates the southwestern corner, where Kanopolis State Park provides recreational infrastructure including the Rockwall Campground and Sandyshore Campground. The small settlement of Venango sits just north of the lake's edge, connected by Venango Rd. This survey reflects the modern rural landscape, balancing agricultural land use with significant state-managed water and park resources.
