2012 Map of Bayneville

About this map

Schulte and Bayneville anchor this portion of Sedgwick County, showing the agricultural landscape south of Wichita in the early 21st century. The map records the essential infrastructure of rural Kansas, from the grain elevator-dominated skyline of Clearwater to the scattered cemeteries that hold local family histories, such as Saint Peters Cem and Greenwood Cem. Hydrology is a defining feature here, with the Wichita Valley Center Floodway cutting through the eastern edge near Oatville, while the natural meanders of Cowskin Cr and Spring Cr drain the central plains. Smaller settlements like Murray Gill and landmarks like Rucker Airport and Wattles Lake illustrate the transition between established town centers and the grid-iron road network that defines the region.
