About this map

The agricultural and energy-producing landscape of central Kansas is documented here in the early 21st century. The map is anchored by the community of Durand, where a network of town streets like E Madison St and E Kansas St meet the surrounding countryside. This region is defined by its grid-based infrastructure, with numbered routes like 150th Rd and 110th Rd connecting small settlements including Vernon and Hasty.

Evidence of local industry is clear through the Durand Oil Field and Owl Creek Oil Field, indicating the importance of resource extraction to the local economy. For genealogists and local historians, the Dutro Cem stands as a notable landmark alongside several significant waterways that drain the terrain, including Bloody Run, Cherry Cr, and Owl Cr. The presence of a Po in the town center marks the hub of regional communication and mail delivery.
