About this map

The Ninnescah River meanders through the southern portion of this Sedgwick County landscape, defining the character of the river valley near the city of Clearwater. This 2009 survey illustrates a Kansas prairie in transition, where traditional section lines and agricultural expanses meet modern residential developments like Colonial Estates Mobile Home Park and Amber Ridge. To the north, the small settlement of Clonmel sits along the W K 42 HWY corridor, which cuts diagonally across the township toward the regional hub of Wichita.

Industrial activity is evident through the presence of the Clearwater Oil Field and the Chambers Northeast Oil Field, indicating the area's continued reliance on natural resource extraction. Local history is anchored by sites such as Saint Johns Cemetery and Ruby Cemetery, while recreation and transportation are represented by the Clearwater Golf Course and the Lake Waltamna Airport. Small tributaries like Afton Creek and Spring Creek drain the surrounding fields, completing the picture of a productive rural-to-suburban landscape.
