About this map

Strother Airport anchors the central landscape of this Cowley County survey, situated between the settlements of Hackney and Tresham. The region is defined by a dense intersection of river-and-rail infrastructure, where the Walnut River joins the Arkansas River near the bend of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. To the northeast, the outskirts of Winfield reveal a suburban transition featuring the Drive-in Theater and the Tunnel Mill Dam along the river.

Extensive petroleum development is evident through the Stayton South Oil Field and Graham Oil Field, which punctuate the agricultural sections. Local genealogy is well-supported by numerous rural institutions, including South Vernon Sch, Martha Washington Sch, and several burial grounds like Pleasant Valley Cem and Mt Zion Cem. Distinctive landmarks such as the Kickapoo Corral and Rainbow Bend provide unique geographic markers of mid-century Kansas history.
