About this map

Glen Crouse and its surroundings in Cowley County sit at a crossroads of prairie drainage and rural boundaries. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Grouse Creek, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Franklin Cr, Ferguson Cr, and Riley Cr. This network of waterways carved the terrain long before modern section roads like Flinthills Rd and SE Summit Rd provided a grid for transit.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Glen Grouse Cem as a primary landmark for the early community, located north of the main settlement. The map also delineates the precise intersections of three Kansas counties — Butler, Cowley, and Elk — marking the edges of townships T29S through T31S. Significant bridge crossings and branches, such as Gardners Br and Schrader Br, underscore the importance of local water management in this agricultural region.
