About this map

S Fork Cottonwood River and the Walnut River converge their drainage basins across this section of the Kansas Flint Hills. The landscape is defined by a dense network of prairie tributaries, including Thurman Cr and Mercer Cr, which carve through the undulating topography typical of the region. This 2015 survey documents the rural character of the area at the intersection of Chase, Butler, and Greenwood counties.

Large-scale ranching and land management are evident through the grid of local access roads like First Street Rd and NE 135th St. Near the western edge, Fox Lake serves as a prominent water feature in an otherwise strictly agricultural and open-range environment. Historical routes are preserved in the naming of roads such as Thurman Creek Rd and NE Battle Creek Rd, providing a clear record of the local geography used by generations of cattlemen and residents.
