About this map

Sedan and Chautauqua anchor this 2009 survey of southeastern Kansas, documenting the land at a time when traditional agricultural grids and rural infrastructure remained the primary features. The landscape is defined by the branching tributaries of Middle Caney Creek, including Turkey Creek and Bear Creek, which carve through the terrain and influence the placement of regional thoroughfares like Us HWY 166 Bus.

For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for several small burial grounds, including Casement Cemetery in the north and the clustered Oak Hill Cemetery and McClarney Cemetery south of Chautauqua. The presence of the Walter Landing Strip and local routes like Cowboy RD and Frontier RD reflect the ongoing rural utility and transportation patterns of Chautauqua County in the early 21st century.
