About this map

Bluff Creek meanders through this portion of Rice County, illustrating the agricultural and industrial landscape of central Kansas in the early 21st century. The map centers on the small community of Crawford, where local history is anchored by family and community landmarks like Scates Cemetery, Liscum Cemetery, and Click Cemetery. These burial grounds, dispersed across the township grid, provide valuable points of reference for genealogists tracing early settler families in the region.

Energy production is a defining characteristic of this terrain, evidenced by the Rush Field and the Click Southeast Oil Field. These sites, along with the section-line road network such as Ave A and 22nd Rd, highlight the intersection of natural resources and infrastructure. To the northeast, the presence of Kanopolis Lake marks the beginning of the reservoir system that manages the area's hydrology, including tributaries like Thompson Creek and Horse Creek.
