2012 Map of Peru

About this map

Peru and Niotaze anchor this Chautauqua County landscape, where the Chautauqua Hills roll toward the winding course of the Little Caney River. The settlement pattern follows a grid of rural roads, including Dalton Rd and Cowboy Rd, revealing a quiet agricultural and energy-producing district. Significant local history is preserved in the high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Booth Cem, Mooney Cem, and Alford Cem, scattered across the plains. Industrial activity is concentrated at the Niotaze Oil Field, signaling the region's reliance on mineral extraction alongside its creek-fed ranching lands. Waterways like Middle Caney Cr and Thunderbolt Cr carve through the terrain, defining the natural boundaries of the various townships and farmsteads near Mantansas.
