About this map

The Cottonwood River and its South Fork Cottonwood River define the agricultural and transport landscape of central Chase County in the mid-2010s. The county seat of Cottonwood Falls serves as the primary hub, with its grid of streets including Cherry St, Walnut St, and Friend St situated just north of the Cottonwood Falls Airport. The surrounding terrain is heavily dissected by numerous watercourses such as Rock Cr, Buck Cr, and Prather Cr, which have shaped the placement of rural corridors like Buck Creek Rd and Rock Creek Rd.

For those researching local heritage, the map identifies significant sites such as the Prairie Grove Cem to the northwest and Bazaar Cem to the south. The presence of Chase County State Lake highlights the regional focus on water management and recreation. This survey provides a contemporary perspective on the land use patterns that have persisted in the Kansas Flint Hills region, balancing small-town infrastructure with an expansive network of creeks and prairie roads.
