2009 Map of Madison SW

About this map

Woods Cemetery and Prairie Chapel Cemetery stand as quiet landmarks within this rural Kansas landscape, documenting the local heritage southwest of Madison. The area's economic history is marked by significant energy production, notably at the De Malorie-Sowder Oil Field in the northwest and the Seeley-Wick Oil Field further south. This region is defined by its complex drainage network, where numerous waterways including Holderman Creek, Willow Creek, and Onion Creek carve through the sectioned agricultural lands. The organized grid of township roads, such as Twp Rd 92 and Twp Rd 100, provides clear evidence of the long-standing rectangular survey system. Along the southern reaches, Indian Creek and Slate Creek traverse the terrain, while the Madison Golf Course near the northern border indicates the proximity of the town center just off the map's edge.
