2010 Map of Rome

About this map

Attebery Cemetery and the industrial activity of the Perth Oil Field anchor this southern Kansas landscape, where the agricultural grid meets a dense network of watercourses. The drainage pattern is defined by several branches of Shoo Fly Creek, including West Shoo Fly Creek, Middle Shoo Fly Creek, and East Shoo Fly Creek, which snake northward across the section lines. The terrain is largely dictated by these tributaries and larger bodies like Slate Creek and Beaver Creek in the northeast. This 2010 survey illustrates the persistence of the section-line road system, with thoroughfares such as S Maize Rd and S Hoover Rd providing access to the rural homesteads and oil operations that have shaped Sumner County's economy for generations.
