A Greeley County township map answers two different questions around Horace: which local township a property sits in, and where it falls on the survey grid. This guide covers the free Greeley County, KS options and how to read them.
How to use the Greeley County township map

Step one: the free Greeley County viewer
The county's own public map is the ORKA parcel viewer, built on a parcel platform shared by many Kansas counties, and it opens without an account for parcels in Horace and the rest of the county. Once Greeley County is chosen in ORKA, parcels near Tribune display owner and acreage when clicked. Our Greeley County, KS page keeps the official link and the maps next door to Tribune in one place.

Taxes, permits and township lines
In Greeley County, township boundaries affect tax bills, local permits and voting precincts, and the Greeley County record is the better guide than an address. When you compare tax bills for land near Horace, check if the parcels sit in the same township; levies can differ across the line.
From Tribune to the back roads

How the survey grid is numbered
For land around Horace, sections are numbered from 1 in the northeast corner, and the sequence zigzags row by row to section 36.

Water, old surveys and corrections can leave odd-sized lots along section edges in Greeley County.
