About this map

Rome sits in the southeastern portion of this landscape, where the waters of Spring Creek flow toward the larger drainage systems of Sumner County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the descriptive and curious branches of West Shoo Fly Creek, Middle Shoo Fly Creek, and East Shoo Fly Creek that reach across the central plains. These creeks, along with others like Slate Creek and Antelope Creek, indicate a finely dissected agricultural region.

Energy and infrastructure are represented by the Perth Oil Field in the west and the Wellington Landfill in the northeast. For those researching local family history, the centrally located Attebery Cemetery provides a specific point of genealogical interest. The map also delineates the precise grid of rural roads, such as South Maize Road and South Tyler Road, which have long organized the farmsteads and fields of this Kansas interior.
