2015 Map of Grand Summit

About this map

Grand Summit sits at the northern edge of a landscape defined by its high plateaus and crossing drainage systems where the borders of Cowley, Elk, and Chautauqua counties meet. This ranch-dominated region is marked by an extensive network of named local routes, including 313rd Rd and various Priv Ranch Rd segments that snake through the undulating terrain. The drainage patterns are clearly defined by Cedar Cr and Otter Cr, which carve through the Flint Hills topography. To the southwest, the Gospel Ridge Cem provides a significant touchstone for genealogical research in this sparsely populated area. The map reveals a highly structured land system with numerous section lines and ranch roads, reflecting the persistent agricultural and ranching legacy of south-central Kansas.
