A Phillips County township map answers two different questions around Kirwin: which local township a property sits in, and where it falls on the survey grid. Here's how to see township lines for Phillips County, Kansas, on free official maps.
Civil townships vs. survey townships
Where civil townships exist in the county, they are named local units, and their duties near Long Island depend on Kansas law. Rural land in Phillips County comes from the Public Land Survey System, where a boundary survey township is about 6 miles square; each holds 36 sections, so a farm near Stuttgart may span two.
Search Phillips County parcels by owner, address or ID
For land around Agra, open the ORKA parcel viewer (a parcel platform shared by many Kansas counties); it's the map Phillips County itself publishes. Once Phillips County is chosen in ORKA, parcels near Agra display owner and acreage when clicked. If the official address for the Phillips County, KS map ever changes, our directory page carries the current link for Kirwin and the rest of the county.
Tracts that cross the Phillips County line
Phillips County borders Graham County, Norton County, Rooks County, Smith County, and Franklin County, NE, and each keeps its own parcel map and records. Every map bordering Phillips County is listed on our Kansas directory.
Using the Phillips County parcel viewer as a Phillips County township map
On the ORKA parcel viewer, the parcel record for a tract near Kirwin usually lists the township, and many viewers draw township lines as a layer. For the survey grid, look for section, township and range in the legal description on the Phillips County record.
Phillips County at a glance
From Phillipsburg, the seat of the county, the map spreads out to Agra, Glade, Kirwin, and Logan. Smaller places such as Gretna, Stuttgart, and Woodruff appear on the county map as little clusters of lots. Phillips County had an estimated 4,761 people in 2023 (Census Bureau), spread across about 886 square miles. Beyond the town lots in Long Island, expect big rural parcels across the county.
How the survey grid is numbered
For land around Prairie View, numbering starts with section 1 in the northeast corner, and the sequence zigzags row by row to section 36. Aliquot descriptions for land near Stuttgart make sense in reverse: locate the southwest quarter, then its northeast quarter, on the county grid. Correction lines and irregular sections exist, so a section near Prairie View may not be exactly 640 acres.
Township records near Kirwin
Older deeds near Kirwin may name a township differently than today's Phillips County records, so compare the legal description too. Election maps, school districts and fire districts in Phillips County don't always follow township lines near Agra, so check each one separately.

Phillips County's 2022 business count was 217 establishments, with retail trade, other services, and health care and social assistance the largest groups. Compared with national shares, Phillips County leans toward building material and garden supply dealers and truck transportation, which shapes demand for land near Prairie View.
Recorded documents in Phillips County, Kansas
Deeds and plats behind the Phillips County map are kept by the county's recording office; the official Phillips County website names which office that is. Copy the parcel number and legal description from the county record well before you request a deed for land near Logan.
Why the township matters
Township lines near Long Island affect tax bills, local permits and voting precincts, so check the record before assuming. The township on the county record also decides which local office keeps meeting notices and ordinances for land near Stuttgart.
