About this map

The Arkansas River winds across the southern reaches of this Kansas landscape, defining a broad floodplain that contrasts with the geometric section lines of the surrounding prairie. Near the center of the map, the small settlement of Patterson serves as a local hub, flanked by agricultural landmarks and burial grounds like the Hunt Cemetery to its west and the Township Cemetery further northwest.

Drainage systems such as Kisiwa Creek and Gar Creek thread through the terrain, illustrating the natural watercourses that shaped early homesteading patterns. The road network, featuring names like Trail West Rd and Irish Creek Rd, reveals the legacy of travel and transport in Sedgwick County. This 2009 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents a region where traditional land divisions and small-town footprints remain clearly visible amidst the modern rural landscape.
