2015 Map of Chautauqua

About this map

Chautauqua and the southern edge of Sedan anchor this section of the Kansas landscape, defined by the winding course of Middle Caney Creek and its many tributaries. The area is characterized by the distinctive Chautauqua Hills terrain, where numerous small creeks like Turkey Cr, Coon Cr, and Little Cedar Cr have carved the local topography. This region serves as a notable focal point for genealogical research, containing several established burial grounds including Oak Hill Cem, McClarney Cem, and Oak Grove Cem. The map illustrates a grid of rural routes with evocative names such as Frontier Rd, Heritage Rd, and Cowboy Rd, reflecting the intersection of modern infrastructure and the historical character of the plains. Small-town layout is evident in the street names of Chautauqua, including Woolsey St and Laurel St, situated just north of the border with Oklahoma.
