About this map

The confluence of the Arkansas River and Walnut River dominates the layout of Arkansas City, a hub of industry and transit in Southern Kansas. At this point in the early 21st century, the landscape reflects a long history of petroleum extraction, with numerous active zones including the Geuda Springs Oil Field, Harvey Oil Field, and McKay Oil Field surrounding the urban center. To the north, the small settlement of Moxham sits near the Walnut River, while the city proper is well-protected by an extensive dike system along its western and southern riverbanks.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by landmarks like Riverview Cemetery on the north side and Hope Cemetery to the southwest. Cultural and recreational sites are well-defined, ranging from the aviation heritage at Haines Landing Field to the riverside grounds of Camp Quaker Haven. The grid of the city is detailed down to individual residential streets, showing the development pattern between the major waterways and the surrounding prairie and oil fields.
