2009 Map of Windom

About this map

The town of Windom sits at the southern edge of this survey, organized around a classic grid where Main St and 1st St intersect near the railway corridor. This Central Kansas landscape is defined by the complex drainage of the Little Arkansas River and its numerous tributaries, including the North Fork Little Arkansas River and the meandering Salt Creek. The rural sections are largely partitioned by a strict grid of county roads, such as Ave C and 28th Rd, reflecting the intensive agricultural use of the region. Evidence of the local energy economy appears at the Rellim Oil Field, while the Bean Cemetery and Neel Airport serve as localized landmarks among the prairie streams. The density of named waterways like Sharps Creek and Wolf Creek highlights the hydrological network that has shaped settlement patterns and land use in McPherson County.
