About this map

Cheney and the Sedgwick County Fairgrounds anchor the northern reaches of this Kansas agricultural landscape, where the S Fork Ninnescah River meanders across a grid of section roads and rural settlements. The map documents a classic Midwestern layout defined by its watercourses and small community hubs like Suppesville and Lansdowne. Significant local history is preserved through several rural burial grounds, including Vinita Cem, Fairview Cem, and Mount Pleasant Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the area's ancestral homesteads.

Industrial activity is noted at the Broadway Oil and Gas Field in the northwest, contrasting with the natural drainage patterns of Nester Cr, Smoots Cr, and Fish Cr. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring relationship between the region's hydrography and its infrastructure, with named roads like Freida Rd and Co Rd-364 providing vital connections between isolated farmsteads and established town centers.
