2015 Map of Homestead

About this map

The small settlement of Homestead anchors this mid-2010s survey of the Flint Hills region in Chase County. This area of Kansas is defined by its deep drainages and tributary networks, including the meandering paths of Rock Creek and Coon Creek. For those tracing local heritage, the Homestead Cemetery provides a primary point of reference for the families who settled this prairie landscape. The mapping reflects a structured grid of rural infrastructure, such as 80 Road and Coyne Creek Road, which overlay a terrain etched by watercourses like Crocker Creek and Coyne Branch. The concentration of creek names and numbered range roads indicates a place where land use remains closely tied to the natural hydrology and established township boundaries.
