About this map

The Cleveland (Carvel Sta) settlement serves as a central hub for this portion of Kingman County, situated along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. This late 1960s landscape is defined by its agricultural and industrial character, where the South Fork Ninnescah River cuts through the northern sections of Ninnescah and Belmont townships. The local economy and land use are clearly visible through the presence of the Belmont Gas Field and various oil wells and gravel pits scattered across the undulating terrain.

Local landmarks such as Cleveland Cem provide valuable points of reference for genealogists tracking family history in this rural Kansas corridor. The map details a network of waterways including Hunter Creek, Wild Horse Creek, and Petul Creek, which drain the prairie toward the larger river system. A complex infrastructure of regional significance is also marked by a major pipeline and the distinct township boundaries of Union, Peters, and Richland.
