2015 Map of Rose Hill

About this map

Rose Hill and the eastern edge of Derby anchor this landscape along the Butler and Sedgwick County line. The map captures a transition between the suburban expansion of Wichita's satellite cities and the established agricultural grid of south-central Kansas. A notable concentration of small aviation facilities, including Cook Airfield, Vankirk Airport, and Olson Aerodrome, reflects the region's strong ties to general aviation. Educational and local history landmarks are well-represented, from the Butler Community College of Rose Hill to several rural burial grounds such as Branson Cem and Hillcrest Cem. The drainage patterns of Polecat Creek, Spring Creek, and Eightmile Creek create subtle topography across the sections, while the northern outskirts of Mulvane appear at the southern margin, showing the connectivity of these communities in the mid-2010s.
