2018 Map of New Salem

About this map

Winfield serves as the primary hub on this map, showing its eastern expansion toward the waters of Timber Creek Lake. The landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of Timber Creek and its many tributaries, including Dutch Creek and Cedar Creek, which carve through the agricultural sections of the Flint Hills region. The map reveals a transition from the structured residential and public spaces of the city—such as Davis Field and the Union Cem—to the quieter rural communities of New Salem and Floral. A notable inclusion is the Kansas Veterans Cem at Winfield, which highlights the area's role as a regional center for veterans and public service. The intricate network of section-line roads, such as 102nd Rd and 131st Rd, underscores the enduring presence of the Public Land Survey System in defining the rural Kansas economy.
