About this map

Diamond Creek and its many tributaries, such as Schaffer Creek and Muluane Creek, carve a intricate drainage pattern through this section of the Kansas prairie. The settlement of Hymer sits at the northern end of this corridor, while the landscape further south is anchored by the community of Elmdale. This 2010 survey shows the area's transition into the Cottonwood River valley, where the terrain levels out and the river begins its winding course toward the southeast.

Local landmarks and transit routes like Diamond Creek Rd provide a framework for the rural homesteads and agricultural operations that define the region. In the south, Elmdale Cemetery serves as a significant site for genealogical research, situated near the junction of Middle Creek and the river. The map also records smaller localities such as Rockland, documenting the persistence of these named places within the modern agricultural landscape.
