2015 Map of Florence SE

About this map

The W Br Walnut River and its varied tributaries, including Turkey Cr and Bills Cr, define the drainage patterns of this rural landscape where Butler, Marion, and Chase counties converge. This 2015 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the enduring section-line road grid that organizes the Flint Hills region, with thoroughfares such as NE Turkey Creek Rd and NE Bluestem Rd cutting through the topography. The map records the hydrographic network of Middle Cr and Cole Cr amidst a terrain of upland ridges and creek bottoms. For the local historian or genealogist, the map provides a clear look at the modern land divisions and boundary lines within Township 22 South and Township 23 South, reflecting the long-term agricultural and ranching heritage of these central Kansas counties.
