2023 Map of Cloverdale

About this map

Caney River and its numerous tributaries, including Turkey Creek and Union Creek, carve a complex drainage pattern across this section of Chautauqua County. The settlement of Cloverdale serves as a central landmark in a landscape defined by ranching and agriculture, where the section lines are traced by a network of rural routes such as Quivira Rd and Kansas Rd. This 2023 survey provides essential data for genealogists tracing family ties to the area's early congregations and burial grounds. The map clearly identifies several significant local landmarks, including the Old Cloverdale Cem, Caneyville Cem, and Round Mound Cem, offering a contemporary view of these established community sites. The terrain is further characterized by minor waterways like Hogback Creek, Otter Creek, and Spring Branch, which follow the natural contours of the Kansas plains.
