2012 Map of Lake Afton

About this map

The Ninnescah River and its major tributaries, the N Fork Ninnescah River and the S-Fork Ninnescah River, converge in this agricultural region west of Wichita. This 2012 survey shows a landscape defined by a rigid section-line road grid, including W 39th St S and S 343rd St W, which organizes the drainage of several named streams like Sand Cr and Jocelyn Cr. The northeastern corner is anchored by the recreation and institutional grounds of Lake Afton, featuring the Lake Afton Boys Ranch and the residential development of Quail Valley Est. For local historians and genealogists, the Peotone Cem in the southern portion of the sheet provides a tangible link to the area's early rural communities. The map also identifies Camp Hyde, reflecting the area's long-standing use for both agricultural production and regional youth recreation.
