2009 Map of Lake Afton

About this map

The confluence of the North Fork Ninnescah River and South Fork Ninnescah River anchors this corner of Sedgwick County, where the plains are defined by a network of drainage creeks and rural section roads. The landscape is dominated by the Ninnescah River and its various tributaries, including Jocelyn Creek and Mud Creek, which cut through the agricultural grid. To the northeast, the recreation and institutional hub around Lake Afton provides a notable contrast to the surrounding farms, featuring the Lake Afton Boys Ranch and the organized layout of Quail Valley Ests. Local history and community markers are found in several pockets, such as the Peotone Cemetery in the southern portion and Camp Hyde along Clearwater Creek. Small-scale aviation is represented by Hovorka Airport, reflecting the region's connection to the aerospace-heavy culture of the nearby Wichita metropolitan area.
