About this map

The Arkansas River carves a winding path through the heart of this Rice County landscape, defining the character of the river valley as it moves toward the southeast. The small community of Raymond is positioned along the river's north bank, where a tidy grid of streets including N Main St and Ash St meets the rural section lines. Further north, the settlement of Silica sits along Ave M, illustrating the dispersed agricultural and industrial nature of the region.

Land use is largely defined by the expansive township and range grid, yet local history is etched into specific sites like Hilltop Cemetery and Immanuel Cemetery. Aviation history is represented by Peters Landing Field, tucked away in the western portion of the survey area. This 2009 snapshot shows a region where modern county infrastructure, such as E Barton County Rd, overlays a landscape still deeply influenced by the perennial flow of Spring Creek and the river's ancient floodplain.
