2018 Map of Lake Kahola

About this map

Lake Kahola and the winding course of the Neosho River dominate this rural landscape on the border of Morris and Chase counties. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Kahola Cr, Big John Cr, and Fourmile Cr, which carve through the terrain. The northern section of the map is traversed by the Flint Hills Nature Trail, following a former railroad corridor through the valley. This 2018 survey reveals a primarily agricultural region structured by a systematic grid of section roads like Dunlap Rd and Kahola Rd. The geography shows how modern recreational and conservation efforts, such as the trail and the lake, integrate with the long-standing creek-fed ranching and farming lands characteristic of the eastern Kansas plains.
