About this map

Springvale and the small community of Croft anchor this rural landscape in Pratt County, where agricultural sections are neatly divided by a grid of local roads and state highways. The terrain is defined by its seasonal drainage patterns, most notably the path of the S Fork Ninnescah River crossing the northern territory and the meandering course of Turkey Cr through the central and southern reaches.

Genealogists will find three distinct burial grounds distributed across these townships, including Sunset Cem in the north, Jenkins Cem to the east, and East Slope Cem near the southern boundary. These cemeteries and the named tributaries, such as W Br S Elm Cr, provide essential landmarks for tracing family land holdings and historical settlement patterns in this part of Kansas. The dominance of section lines like SW 100th Ave and Co Rd 5 reflects the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the region's development.
