About this map

Colwich serves as the primary center of activity in this Sedgwick County landscape, appearing here just before the end of the decade. The town's grid is clearly defined, anchored by the Colwich Post Office and bordered by thoroughfares like Breese St and E Union Ave. The surrounding area is marked by a network of sectional roads and the diagonal path of the W K 96 Hwy, which cuts across the terrain toward the northwest.

Water plays a central role in the geography of the quadrangle, with the Arkansas River flowing through the northern and eastern portions. Several smaller tributaries, including Big Slough and the winding Couskin Creek, drain the flat agricultural lands. These watercourses dictate the subtle shifts in the landscape, providing a clear view of the drainage patterns and land use in this part of the Kansas plains during the early 21st century.
