About this map

Penalosa and the small settlement of Calista anchor this central Kansas landscape, where agricultural grid lines meet the winding courses of the South Fork Ninnescah River and Goose Cr. The terrain is defined by a dense network of county roads, including the border-defining NW 60 ST and the long stretch of Smoots Creek RD. These roads carve the landscape into regular sections, characteristic of the state's rural development.

In the southeastern corner, the Kingman County State Lake provides a significant hydrological break from the surrounding farmland. Tributaries such as Pointer Cr and Mead Cr feed into the river system, illustrating the drainage patterns of Kingman County. This survey offers a clear view of the rural infrastructure at a time when traditional town centers like Penalosa remained essential hubs for the surrounding farmsteads.
