2016 Map of Blackwell NW

About this map

Bluff Creek meanders across the Kansas-Oklahoma state line, anchoring a rural landscape defined by the intersection of Sumner, Grant, and Kay counties. This agricultural borderland is marked by a precise grid of country roads, including W Judo Rd and W Earth Rd, which navigate the drainages of Doe Cr and Sand Cr. The presence of the Triumph Cem in the eastern portion of the survey provides a significant anchor for genealogical research, situated south of W Bender Rd. Along the winding path of the creek, Lake Blackwell appears as a notable water feature, flanked by Northside Rd and Southside Rd. The map illustrates the persistent 19th-century township-and-range surveying system as it transitions between the two states, showing how early territorial boundaries still dictate the placement of modern infrastructure and rural property lines.
