About this map

The Arkansas River winds through this landscape south of Mulvane, defining the geography of a region characterized by a dense network of tributaries and rural flight paths. Small private airfields like Rogers Airport and Belle Plaine Farms Airport are positioned near the riverbanks, reflecting the importance of light aviation in the agricultural corridor. The settlement of Mulvane sits in the northwest, its street grid transitioning into a expansive system of section-line roads and rural avenues.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds preserved among the fields, including Littleton Cem, Mulvane Cem, and Udall Cem. The water management of the plains is evidenced by the Sedgwick County Rural Water District 3 Water Tower and a complex drainage system comprised of Dog Cr, Bitter Cr, and Coon Cr. This survey captures the precise intersection of suburban expansion and traditional Kansas farmland in the early 21st century.
