About this map

The small unincorporated community of Wells sits at the southern edge of this Ottawa County survey, where a neat grid of gravel and section roads like Mulberry Rd and Hanes St cross the rural landscape. The area is defined by the winding paths of several waterways, including Lindsey Creek and Sand Creek, which break the regularity of the agricultural sections.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Pleasant Hill Cemetery situated along N 180th Rd, serving as a central landmark for the surrounding families. Further north, the private Siler Airport represents a modern addition to the pastoral setting. The map captures the quiet transition of Northern Kansas as it appeared in the early 21st century, centered on traditional land divisions and the drainage basins of Pipe Creek and Middle Pipe Creek.
