About this map

Peckham and the surrounding agricultural landscapes of northern Kay County are defined by a grid of rural roads and the undulating drainages that feed into the Arkansas River basin. This 2016 survey illustrates a region where local geography is marked by small settlements like Dilworth and Bender, which emerged near the Kansas-Oklahoma state line. The terrain is deeply carved by a network of seasonal and perennial streams, including Middle Bitter Cr, Spring Cr, and Scatter Cr, which drain the area's many low hills.

Water management is a central feature of the local infrastructure, as seen at Wentz Lake and the Lost Duck Creeks Site D-6 Reservoir. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of Plainview Cem provides a specific point of reference for family research in this prairie borderland. The map's layout follows the section lines typical of the Great Plains, where routes like W Indian Rd and State Line Rd partition the landscape into a precise geometric grid.
