About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary carves a straight horizontal line across this Kansas landscape, marking a historical division just north of the Butler and Cowley County line. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Timber Creek and Grouse Creek, which feed into the smaller Gardners Branch at the southern edge of the quadrangle. Early 20th-century development is visible through the Old RR Grade that passes near Wingate, a small settlement node on the plains. This 1960s survey, updated in the early 1980s, reveals the intersection of agriculture and industry with the presence of the Grouse Creek Oil Field. Community life is anchored by local landmarks such as the Timber Creek Ch, Timber Creek Cem, and Mt Vernon Cem, providing valuable points of reference for genealogists and local historians tracking rural Kansas roots.
