About this map

Turkey Creek and Running Turkey Creek wind through the agricultural landscape south of McPherson, defining the drainage patterns of several rural townships including King City and Lone Tree. This mid-century survey illustrates a region where farming and energy extraction coexist, most notably within the Empire Oil Field in the northeast and near the small settlement of Elyria. The landscape is dotted with the critical infrastructure of rural community life, featuring several country burial grounds such as Dunkard Cem and Lone Tree Cem.
