2015 Map of Windom NE

About this map

The rolling plains of western McPherson County are defined by a grid of rural roads and the meandering courses of local waterways. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey topographic map documents the agricultural landscape where Sharps Cr and its tributary S Sharps Cr cut through the terrain. Evidence of the area's pioneer heritage is visible in the scattered country burial grounds including Excelsior Cem and Fairview Cem, which serve as landmarks for genealogists and local historians. To the south, Windom Cem sits near the headwaters of Blaze Fork. The map's detail provides a record of land management and rural connectivity, with named roads like Quivera Rd and Limestone Rd framing the sections of the Public Land Survey System. Sparse features such as Clear Pond and Edwards Cr further delineate this quiet corner of the Kansas prairie.
