2009 Map of Delavan

About this map

Latimer and Delavan anchor this rural landscape in central Kansas, where the headwaters of several key waterways begin their descent. The terrain is defined by a dendritic drainage pattern including Clarks Creek and Threemile Creek, which cut through the agricultural grid. A notable modern landmark, the Herington Municipal Airport, occupies a central position, its runways contrasting with the surrounding section lines and country roads like R Ave and S 2800 Rd. For those researching local heritage, the Delavan Cemetery remains a significant point of interest near the settlement of Delavan. The map also captures the path of the West Fork Neosho River as it winds through the eastern portion of the quadrangle alongside Mile-and-a-Half Creek, illustrating the intersection of Kansas prairie hydrology and established rural community life.
