About this map

The Little Arkansas River meanders across the border of Rice and McPherson counties, defining the agricultural landscape of this central Kansas prairie. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of drainage systems including Salt Cr, Dry Cr, Lone Tree Cr, and Sand Cr, which dictate the placement of local thoroughfares. For genealogists and local historians, the Andover Lutheran Church Cem serves as a significant cultural landmark in the eastern portion of the map. The area's character is further established by its grid of rural roads, many bearing names that evoke the region's pioneering history, such as Iron Horse Rd, Frontier Rd, Cimarron Rd, and Chisholm Rd. This layout reveals the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the development and connectivity of these rural townships.
