About this map

Millerton sits at the intersection of a vast agricultural and industrial landscape in southern Kansas, where the township grid meets the meandering path of the Ninnescah River. This survey captures the rural character of the area, defined by the Wichita Prairies and the scattered extraction infrastructure of the Latta Oil Field and Latta Northwest Oil Field. The map reveals a deeply rooted community structure, preserved through several burial grounds such as Harrington Cemetery in the north and Greencastle Cemetery to the east.

Waterways like Turtle Creek, Silver Creek, and Slate Creek cut through the section lines, influencing the placement of local roads and farmsteads. The settlement of Clearwater appears at the map's edge, highlighting the connection between these small agrarian hubs. For genealogists and local historians, the precise location of family cemeteries and the layout of the 19th-century township road system provide a clear window into the development of Sedgwick County's rural townships.
