About this map

Marion Co Chase Co serves as the central dividing line for this rural landscape, where the headwaters of several drainages carve into the Kansas prairie. The drainage system is defined by the winding paths of Middle Creek and its tributaries, including Stribby Cr, Wildcat Cr, and Pickett Cr. These watercourses dictate the placement of the section-line road grid, which often breaks to accommodate the shifting topography near the banks of Middle Cr.

Elk Cem, situated along Co Rd in the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, stands as a notable landmark for genealogists and local historians tracing the early settlement of this region. The area's agricultural character is reflected in the naming of thoroughfares such as Alfalfa Rd, Bluestem Rd, and Clover Rd, illustrating the primary vegetation and land use that have sustained this part of the Flint Hills into the early twenty-first century.
