About this map

The Arkansas River meanders across this rural landscape in southeastern Sumner County, defining a region where river-bottom agriculture meets an established energy economy. Small settlements like Adamsville, Paton, and Rainbow Bend anchor the gridded sections of the Kansas plains, while the legacy of early 20th-century petroleum production remains visible through the Lee Oil Field, Holman Oil Field, and the Rainbow Bend Oil Field. These fields suggest a period of industrial activity that once transformed the quiet prairie into a bustling resource hub.

Waterways like Slate Cr, Winser Cr, and Badger Cr cut through the farmland, leading toward the river where Axley Ford provided a historic crossing point. Local history and genealogy are preserved at the Gouda Springs Cem, located along the southern edge of the survey. The map details an extensive network of range and township roads, from S Rock Rd to S Geuda Springs Rd, which supported the transport of both agricultural goods and oil equipment throughout the twentieth century.
