Step one: the free Greenwood County viewer
For land around Climax, open the ORKA parcel viewer (a parcel platform shared by many Kansas counties); it's the map Greenwood County itself publishes. Pick Greenwood County on the ORKA start page, then search an address in Madison or click a tract outside town. Our Greenwood County, KS page keeps the official link and the maps next door to Climax in one place.
How to look up a township in Greenwood County
Open the ORKA parcel viewer and look in the layer list for township or municipal boundaries; click a parcel near Fall River and the record often names the township. Some Greenwood County viewers include a PLSS layer that labels sections, which helps when a deed near Fall River cites T and R numbers.
Reading sections near Madison
For land around Climax, numbering starts with section 1 in the northeast corner, and the numbering ends at 36 in the southeast corner. Aliquot descriptions for land near Piedmont read backward: locate the southwest quarter, then its northeast quarter, on the county grid. Water, old surveys and corrections can leave odd-sized lots along section edges in Greenwood County.

Older deeds near Eureka may name a township differently than today's Greenwood County records, so compare the legal description too. Election maps, school districts and fire districts in Greenwood County don't always follow township lines near Climax, so check each one separately.
