About this map

Cowskin Creek winds through the rural landscape of Sedgwick County, reflecting the transition of central Kansas during the early 1960s. The map illustrates a well-ordered grid of townships, including Illinois, Waco, Ninnescah, and Ohio, which support agricultural communities like Schulte, Oatville, and Bayneville. Infrastructure for the growing region is evident in the presence of the Power Plant and Sewage Disposal facility near the Missouri Pacific Floodway, indicating a move toward modernized local utilities.

Genealogists can find localized landmarks such as Greenwood Cem and the Oatville Sch, alongside several Oil Wells that highlight the area's energy production. Transport networks are dominated by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and the Missouri Pacific railroads, which connect these small settlements to the broader trade routes. Notable water features like Wattles Lake and Wise Lake provide distinct breaks in the sprawling prairie landscape.
