2022 Map of Mill Creek

About this map

Waconda Lake dominates the northern landscape of this region where the North Fork Solomon River and the South Fork Solomon River converge. The reservoir's reach extends through the rugged breaks of the Solomon Valley, creating a complex shoreline that follows the original drainage patterns of Oak Creek and Carr Creek. This 2022 survey illustrates the modern hydrology of north-central Kansas, where the merged Solomon River flows eastward past the Osborne and Mitchell county line. South of the lake, a traditional section-line road grid, including Tipton Rd and 110 Rd, organizes the agricultural uplands. Smaller drainages like Mill Cr carve through the southern terrain, revealing the undulating topography characteristic of the Smoky Hills region as it transitions toward the Solomon riverfront.
