About this map

The confluence of the Arkansas River and the Walnut River anchors this detailed survey of southern Cowley County. Arkansas City dominates the central landscape, showing its organized street grid extending toward the riverside. The map documents the city's educational and civic footprint, including the campus of Cowley College and the large Riverview Cemetery situated along the bluffs. To the east, the smaller community of Parkerfield and the recreation-oriented Lake Louise provide a contrast to the dense municipal center.

Rural sections of the quadrangle reveal a landscape bisected by numerous waterways such as Negro Creek, Spring Creek, and Chilocco Creek. Notable landmarks for local historians include the northern settlement of Moxham and the southern Hope Cemetery. The geography here is defined by the fertile bottomlands between the two major river systems and the evolving residential developments on the eastern outskirts of the city.
