About this map

Cottonwood Falls serves as the focal point of this Chase County landscape, where the iconic Chase County Courthouse stands at the head of Main St. The town's grid is bounded by the winding Cottonwood River, which snakes through the northern sections of the map. This area of the Flint Hills is characterized by a dense network of drainages including Prather Creek, Spring Cr, and Buck Cr, illustrating the complex hydrology that feeds into the larger river systems.

Rural life is marked by longstanding landmarks like Prairie Grove Cem north of town and Bazaar Cem further south. The map documents the persistent agricultural and ranching infrastructure of the region, connected by a system of rural routes such as Buck Creek Rd and Sharps Creek Rd. To the south, the confluence of the South Fork Cottonwood River and Sharpes Cr highlights the natural corridors that have influenced local land use and settlement patterns for generations.
