2012 Map of Wells

About this map

The small settlement of Wells sits in the southeastern portion of this landscape, positioned along Fargo St and N 203rd Rd. This section of Ottawa County is defined by a grid-like network of rural thoroughfares, including Treaty Rd and Mulberry Rd, which facilitate movement through the agricultural terrain. The drainage patterns are dictated by several wandering waterways, most notably Lindsey Cr, Pipe Cr, and Sand Cr, which cut through the sections. For genealogists and local historians, Pleasant Hill Cem is a prominent landmark located on Quartz RD, providing a specific point of reference for families rooted in this central Kansas community. The map illustrates a mature rural landscape where the placement of farmsteads and roads reflects decades of established land use.
