A Stevens County township map answers two different questions around Hugoton: which local township a property sits in, and where it falls on the survey grid. This guide covers the free Stevens County, KS options and how to read them.
Civil townships vs. survey townships
A township name on a county tax record refers to the civil township where the land near Moscow sits. The survey township cited in deeds near Hugoton comes from the Public Land Survey System, in which each township is about 36 square miles, divided into 36 numbered sections.
Opening the Stevens County parcel viewer
For land around Moscow, open the ORKA parcel viewer (a parcel platform shared by many Kansas counties); it is the map Stevens County itself publishes. Once Stevens County is chosen in ORKA, parcels near Moscow display owner and acreage when clicked. Our Stevens County, KS page keeps the official link and the maps next door to Moscow in one place.
Stevens County at a glance
Town lots cluster around Hugoton, the county seat, and Moscow. Census Bureau estimates put Stevens County at about 5,077 residents in 2023 on roughly 727 square miles of land. Outside Moscow, most of the county map is farm, ranch or timber ground with large, irregular tracts. Stevens County was organized in 1886, so deeds for older farms near Hugoton can run back a long way.
Using the Stevens County parcel viewer as a Stevens County township map
The ORKA parcel viewer is the quickest Stevens County township map for most people: switch on boundaries and click a parcel near Moscow. For the survey grid, look for section, township and range in the legal description on the Stevens County record.
Taxes, permits and township lines
Township lines near Moscow decide which local office you deal with, so check the record before assuming. Assessment and tax districts in Stevens County are often tied to the township, so two neighboring parcels near Moscow can carry different rates.
How the survey grid is numbered
On a grid map of Stevens County, sections are numbered from 1 in the northeast corner, and the numbering ends at 36 in the southeast corner. Aliquot descriptions for land near Moscow are read from the end: track down the last quarter named first, then work inward. Water, old surveys and corrections can leave odd-sized lots along section edges in Stevens County.
Deeds, districts and roads
Older deeds near Hugoton may name a township differently than today's Stevens County records, so compare the legal description too. Election maps, school districts and fire districts in Stevens County do not always follow township lines near Moscow, so check each one separately.
What drives land use around Hugoton
Stevens County's 2022 business count was 137 establishments, with other services, wholesale trade, and transportation and warehousing the largest groups. Truck transportation and wholesale of nondurable goods (including farm products) make up an above-average share of Stevens County businesses, a clue to how land around Moscow gets used.
Recorded documents in Stevens County, Kansas
Deeds and plats behind the Stevens County map are kept by the county's recording office; the official Stevens County website names which office that is. Easements and access rights near Moscow live in recorded documents, so read the deed, not just the county map.
Tracts that cross the Stevens County line
