2022 Map of Phenis Creek

About this map

Phenis Creek and its neighboring waterways define this segment of the Kansas landscape along the border of Chase and Lyon counties. The area is characterized by an extensive network of drainages including Jacob Creek, Rock Creek, and Eagle Creek, which feed toward the Cottonwood River in the northeast corner. This modern survey illustrates a rural environment shaped by the Public Land Survey System, with a rigid grid of local roads such as RD 140 and RD 100 carving through the creek valleys. Near the southern edge of the quadrangle, the Goessel Cemetery serves as a significant landmark for genealogists and local historians, anchoring the surrounding agricultural township. The map provides a clear view of the contemporary transport infrastructure, centered on the diagonal corridor of the Kansas Turnpike.
