About this map

The Arkansas River winds through the southern portion of this Kansas landscape, defining the rural geography between the small settlements of Patterson and Mount Hope. This 2012 survey illustrates a classic prairie section-line grid, where roads like S Rayl Rd and S Sand Hill Rd partition the agricultural fields. The terrain is dotted with small bodies of water, including Patterson Lake, Greenfield Lake, and the cluster of Boyle Lakes and Saucer Lake to the north, suggesting the subtle drainage patterns of the low-lying river valley.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural burial grounds, including Valley Township Cem, Hunt Cem, and Star Cem, which serve as key landmarks for the area's early families. To the north, Fisher Airport and Kisiwa Cr represent the intersection of local aviation and the natural watershed. The map provides a precise look at the modern road network, from E Lake Cable Rd to E Irish Creek Rd, connecting the scattered farmsteads of the region.
