About this map

The city of Chanute dominates this Neosho County landscape, showing a dense street grid punctuated by civic infrastructure and recreation areas in the early 2000s. The meandering Neosho River defines the eastern and northern reaches of the quadrangle, where the Barker Dam and the winding Village Creek influence the local hydrology. This area reflects a mid-continent settlement pattern where municipal growth, represented by the Chanute Martin Johnson Airport and several residential extensions, meets the agricultural and riparian corridors of the Kansas plains.

Genealogists and local historians can find specific burial sites at Greenlawn Cemetery and Greenwood Cemetery, while the small settlement of Petrolia sits to the north. Water features such as Santa Fe Lake and Little Turkey Creek offer insights into the town's geography, alongside the smaller Rollow Airport to the south. The map provides a clear view of the intersection between urban development and the natural riverine environment typical of this region.
