2010 Map of Boiling Spring

About this map

Good Creek dominates the hydrology of this Foard County landscape, winding its way southward toward a confluence with the North Wichita River. This 2010 survey highlights a sparsely populated cattle-ranching and agricultural region defined by intermittent water sources and a network of county roads. A primary landmark in the center of the sheet is Geneva Potts Lake, which was created by the construction of the Geneva Potts Lake Dam to manage local water resources in an otherwise arid environment. The naming of the eponymous Boiling Spring along the upper reaches of Good Creek suggests a long history of water importance for early settlers and livestock. The area's geography is further divided by several tributaries, including Blue Hole Creek and Little Good Creek, while access is maintained through routes like FM 654 and family-named thoroughfares such as Mc Adams Rd.
