2009 Map of Mouth of Wild Horse Creek

About this map

The Saline River winds through the northern portion of this Ellis County landscape, creating a distinct riparian corridor that breaks the geometric regularity of the surrounding section lines. This 2009 survey illustrates a rural Kansas environment defined by its drainage systems, including Wild Horse Creek and Tomcat Creek in the northeast, and the extensive reach of East Spring Creek further south. The land is organized by a network of numbered avenues and named rural routes like Homestead Rd and Riverview Rd, which reflect the region's agricultural heritage. These corridors connect the scattered residences and farms that characterize the area around Sleepy Hollow Rd and Severin Rd, showing how modern infrastructure follows the traditional grid of the Great Plains.
