About this map

The South Fork Ninnescah River meanders across this rural landscape, joined by a network of tributaries including Smoots Creek, Nester Creek, and Fish Creek. Located southwest of Wichita, this area is defined by a rigorous grid of section-line roads and the industrial presence of the Broadway Oil and Gas Field and the Bolinger Oil Field in the northwest. Local history is anchored by small community nodes like Lansdowne and Suppesville, as well as several established burial grounds. Genealogists can find the Vinita Cemetery in the north, while the Mount Pleasant Cemetery and Fairview Cemetery are situated along the primary north-south corridors. The map provides a detailed view of the section lines and rural homesteads that characterize this portion of the Kansas plains in the early 21st century.
