2012 Map of Mullinville

About this map

The settlement of Joy and the industrial landscape of the Thach Gas Field define this portion of the Kansas plains. This survey documents the area's transition from traditional agricultural and water-management features like Cossell Lake to modern energy extraction. The grid of the township is interrupted by the meandering courses of Rattlesnake Cr and the S Br Rattlesnake Cr, which dictate the drainage patterns across these high plains. Near the western edge of the quadrangle, the local infrastructure is anchored by Hillcrest Cem and the central street network, including Kingman Ave and Wall Ave. The map also captures the headwaters of Middle Kiowa Cr, illustrating the vital role of intermittent waterways in Kiowa County's geography.
