About this map

The northern reaches of the Fort Riley NE quadrangle in Riley County are defined by the winding drainages of Sevenmile Cr and Threemile Cr, which carve through the Flint Hills landscape north of the Kansas River. This 2012 survey illustrates the military and rural intersection of the region, featuring thoroughfares such as Governor-Harvey-Canyon Rd and 1st Division Rd that speak to the area's long association with the nearby Army post.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the preserved locations of Shanks Cem and Vinton Cem, both of which remain as markers of the earlier pioneer communities. The network of local roads, including Vinton School Rd and Old Highway 77, provides a clear view of how modern infrastructure follows the paths established by 19th-century settlers and their schools. Small tributaries like Wind Cr and Little Arkansas Cr further delineate the local topography.
