About this map

Middle Caney Creek meanders through this portion of Chautauqua County, anchoring a landscape defined by ranching and rural drainage systems. The small settlements of Rogers and Gibbs serve as local landmarks alongside several family-named and community sites. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of the Spring Creek Cemetery, Rogers Cemetery, and Denick Cemetery, which are preserved here in their geographical context. The terrain is further defined by various waterways including Pool Creek and Bakers Branch, which feed into the larger creek system. A notable natural feature, Butcher Falls, is located near the confluence of local streams. The road network, including Kansas Rd and Ranch Rd, reflects the gridded agricultural and ranching layout that has shaped this region’s development into the 21st century.
