2018 Map of Westphalia

About this map

Westphalia anchors the landscape of Anderson County in this 2018 survey, appearing as a compact grid surrounded by the sectioned agricultural lands of the Kansas prairie. The town's historical foundations are evidenced by the presence of Saint Teresa Cem on its western outskirts, while the broader topography is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of several local waterways. Streams such as Pottawatomie Cr, Thomas Cr, and Cherry Cr carve subtle valleys through the terrain, illustrating the natural drainage of the region toward larger basins. To the east, Spencer Lake provides a notable water feature amidst the rolling fields. The map documents a meticulously surveyed environment where rural road networks follow the precise cardinal lines of the Public Land Survey System, a hallmark of the midwestern township and range structure.
