About this map

Caney River winding through the southeastern Kansas landscape defines the geography of Chautauqua County in this 2012 survey. The settlement of Cedar Vale sits at the western edge of the quadrangle, where local streets like River St and Maple St meet the corridor of Highway 166. This area is characterized by dispersed rural communities and small crossroads including Hewins, Wauneta, Osro, and Layton.

Genealogists can find several local burial grounds, including Grant Creek Cem and Rose Dale Cem. The terrain is marked by numerous watercourses such as Possum Trot Cr, Shanghai Cr, and Spring Br, which feed into the primary river system. Distinctive natural landmarks like Osro Falls along the river provide specific points of interest for those studying the local topography of the Flint Hills region.
