2022 Map of Gladstone

About this map

Gladstone and the surrounding prairie of Chase County are defined by the convergence of the Cottonwood River and its various tributaries. This 2022 survey documents a rural landscape where the S Fork Cottonwood River and Stout Run join the main river channel near Dexter Field. The drainage patterns of Bloody Cr and Little Bloody Cr illustrate the undulating topography of the region, which is accessed primarily via unpaved routes like Bloody Creek Rd and 200th Rd. Local history is anchored by the Miller Cem, located just north of the small settlement of Gladstone. The map provides a clear look at the township and range divisions, such as t19s r8e, that have governed land ownership in this part of Kansas for generations.
