2009 Map of Chase

About this map

The town of Chase sits at the heart of this Rice County landscape, serving as a primary point of settlement along the gridded section roads of central Kansas. This 2009 survey highlights the region's enduring connection to the energy industry, notably through the Tobias Oil Field and the Tobias Northwest Oil Field to the southeast, along with an Oil Field Tank positioned west of the main town site. The map records important genealogical and community sites, including Saint Marys Cemetery on the southwestern edge of town and Springdale Cemetery to the northeast. The surrounding prairie is defined by the wandering paths of Spring Creek and Cow Creek, which break the strict geometry of the agricultural landscape. On the southern edge of the quadrangle, the private Schafer Airfield serves as a small aviation landmark amidst the rural expanses.
