About this map

The Arkansas River and the Ninnescah River converge in this region south of Wichita, defining a landscape of riparian corridors and agricultural grid. Belle Plaine stands as the primary population center, where the Belle Plaine Post Office serves the local community. The town is situated just east of the Ninnescah River and north of its confluence with the Arkansas, illustrating a settlement pattern deeply tied to these major waterways.

Rural landmarks and aviation infrastructure dot the countryside, including the Kendrigan Airport and the Prairie Garden Cemetery located to the north. Smaller settlements like Peck and Riverdale mark the northwestern and western edges of the map. The drainage of Cowskin Creek and its modified Couskin Creek Cutoff further detail the complex hydrology of this alluvial plain as it appeared during the early 21st century.
