About this map

Neal serves as the central settlement in this eastern Kansas landscape, situated near the intersection of Quincy St and several township roads. The topography is defined by the meandering course of Walnut Creek, which draws together several smaller tributaries including Homer Creek, Kuntz Branch, and Tar Creek. To the south, the terrain transitions into the Fancy Oil Field, indicating the importance of energy extraction to the local economy alongside the rural agricultural patterns established by the township grid.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several significant landmarks, including the Neal Cemetery and the Rocky Ford Cemetery. The latter is positioned near the small settlement of Rocky Ford, situated at a bend in the creek. Distinctive natural elevations such as Tipperary Hill in the north and Rocky Mound near the center of the quadrangle provide clear reference points within the drainage basins of Fancy Creek and its neighboring waterways.
