2015 Map of Cloverdale

About this map

Cloverdale sits in the rolling hills of Chautauqua County, where a network of watercourses defines the local topography. The Caney River winds through the western portion of the terrain, joined by tributaries including Squaw Cr, Turkey Cr, and Otter Cr. This landscape is primarily rural, organized by a rigid grid of country roads such as Prairie Rd and Ranch Rd that cut across the shifting elevations. For those tracing family histories in this part of Kansas, several localized burial sites are documented, including the Old Cloverdale Cem and the Caneyville Cem near the river, as well as the Round Mound Cem situated to the east. The map illustrates a quiet agricultural area where the drainage patterns of small runs like Spring Br and Linton Cr dictate the placement of local homesteads and ranching operations.
