About this map

De Graff and Chelsea anchor this section of the Flint Hills region, where the hydrology of the Walnut River dominates the southern landscape. The town of Chelsea is situated near the confluence of Cole Creek and the river, an area defined by wide floodplains and the modern expansion of water bodies. This 2022 survey illustrates a landscape of large-scale land management, with section lines marked by roads like NE 110th St and NW Kiowa Rd carving the upland prairies.

Genealogists and local historians can locate long-standing landmarks such as Ridgeway Cem west of Highway 77 and Chelsea Cem further east. The drainage network is intricately detailed, from the W Br Walnut River in the northwest to the winding path of Durechen Creek. These features reflect the transition from early pioneer settlements to the contemporary agricultural and water-management systems of Butler County.
