About this map

Elmdale sits near the confluence of Middle Creek and the Cottonwood River, marking the primary settlement in this portion of Chase County. The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages including Diamond Cr, Mulvane Cr, and Schaffer Cr, which carve through the terrain and dictate the path of local corridors like Diamond Creek Rd. These waterways converge toward the southeast corner of the map, where the river valley supports the most significant infrastructure.

Small rural hubs such as Hymer and Rockland appear along these drainage paths, providing evidence of the area's agricultural settlement pattern. Local aviation history is represented by the Harold K Wells Airport west of the river, while the Elmdale Cem provides a focal point for genealogical research. The survey meticulously details the relationship between the hydrology and the road network, showing how the ridges between Pickett Cr and Collett Cr have influenced the placement of farms and transit lines.
