2015 Map of Chase NW

About this map

Cow Creek winds through this central Kansas landscape along the border of Barton and Rice counties. The area is defined by its rigorous section-line grid, where roads like NE 90 Road and 1st Road trace the boundaries of historic farmsteads. Local history and genealogy are anchored by small rural burial grounds, specifically Montgomery Cemetery in the northwest and Salem - Fried of Cemetery in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. These sites, along with watercourses such as Calf Creek and Little Cheyenne Creek, provide the primary landmarks in an otherwise open agricultural expanse. The map illustrates the persistent 19th-century township and range system, showing the organized division of land into sections like t18s r11w and t19s r10w that shaped the settlement of the Plains.
