About this map

Bentley sits at the southern edge of this Harvey County landscape, centered around the Po and the local street grid near E Ragan St. The terrain is defined by the gradual southward flow of water towards the Arkansas River, which cuts across the southwest corner of the sheet. Between the settlements, a precise network of rural roads follows the section lines, including S Old Settlers Rd and S Golden Prairie RD, reflecting the established agricultural order of the Kansas plains.

In the northern reaches, the town of Halstead appears at the terminus of S Halstead Rd, while the drainage of Kisiwa Cr and the N Br Kisiwa Cr meander through the central fields. Aviation history is noted at Roberts Field Airport, providing a specific landmark for researchers tracing 21st-century infrastructure. The map documents a period of stable rural life where the landscape is etched by long-standing family-named roads and small-town hubs.
