2010 Map of Matfield Green

About this map

Matfield Green occupies a central position within this Chase County landscape, situated along the winding course of the South Fork Cottonwood River. The settlement is defined by a traditional grid of streets including Reed St and Rogler St, with the Matfield Green Cemetery located just to the south. The surrounding terrain is heavily dissected by an intricate drainage network of prairie streams, notably Steak Bake Creek, Mercer Creek, and Baker Creek, which feed into the river valley. To the northwest, the Knute Rockne Memorial Monument stands as a significant historical landmark, commemorating the site of the 1931 plane crash that killed the legendary Notre Dame coach. This monument, coupled with the small settlement of Rural further north, highlights the intersection of local geography with twentieth-century history. The map captures a quintessential Kansas tallgrass prairie environment where small-scale human development follows the natural contours of the river and its many tributaries.
