2015 Map of Chase NE

About this map

Cow Creek and its tributaries define the undulating topography of this portion of Rice County, where the agricultural grid meets the natural drainage of the Kansas prairie. The landscape is marked by the presence of historical community anchors, including Wesley Chapel Cem and Ebenezer Cem, which serve as significant landmarks for genealogists and local historians tracing early family lineages in the region. The map reveals a highly structured network of section roads, such as Ave C and 9th Rd, that partition the land into the traditional township and range system. This rural landscape is primarily defined by the movement of water through Lost Creek and Plum Creek, illustrating the environmental factors that shaped the placement of farmsteads and rural infrastructure in this part of the state.
