2018 Map of Homestead

About this map

Homestead sits at the center of this rural Flint Hills landscape, a small settlement defined by its connection to the surrounding agricultural land. The community is anchored by the Homestead Cem, a site of significant genealogical value for those tracing family roots in Chase County. This area is characterized by an extensive network of waterways, including Rock Cr and its tributaries such as Crocker Cr and Jack Cr, which carve through the terrain and dictate the placement of local thoroughfares. The road system is largely a grid of numbered routes like 100 Rd and 70 Rd, though names like Coyne Creek Rd and Open Range Rd reflect the older land-use patterns of the Kansas prairie. These labels highlight the persistence of ranching and farming traditions in a region where the natural drainage of creeks like Coon Cr and Brush Cr continues to shape the local geography.
