About this map

Floral and New Salem anchor this Cowley County landscape, a region defined by the complex drainage of the Timber Creek system. The area reflects a late-20th and early-21st-century rural layout, where traditional section-line roads like 82nd Rd and 122nd Rd intersect a geography carved by numerous waterways, including Dutch Cr, Cedar Cr, and Lone Elm Cr.

A notable point of local history and remembrance is found in the southwest corner with the Kansas Veterans Cem at Winfield and the nearby Union Cem. The presence of the Timber Cr Lake reservoir in the northeast highlights the managed water resources essential to this prairie environment. This survey captures a moment of modern rural continuity, balancing agricultural land use with significant regional sites of commemoration and community identity.
