About this map

The intersection of the St Louis San Francisco and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads defines the industrial character of Cherryvale, Kansas. This 1960s-era landscape is heavily marked by the Cherry Oil Field, with numerous oil wells and quarries scattered across the terrain. A notable historic feature is the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, which cuts vertically through the center of the sheet, providing a spatial record of early land divisions.

Local life centers on the city grid of Cherryvale, featuring Logan Park, the City Hall, and several schools including West Sch and the High Sch. Rural landmarks like Hazel Dell Ch and Pleasant Dale Ch anchor the surrounding countryside, while the Tri-City Airport stands to the northeast. Waterways like Drum Creek, Rock Creek, and Cherry Creek meander through the prairie, bordered by the Montgomery Co Labette Co line.
