2018 Map of Rose Hill

About this map

Rose Hill and the eastern edge of Derby anchor this landscape along the border of Sedgwick and Butler counties. The area is defined by a dense network of country roads and section lines, interspersed with numerous aviation sites including Cook Airfield, Vankirk Airport, and the Olson Aerodrome. Local family and community history is well-preserved through several established burial grounds such as Branson Cem, Eastridge Cem, Hillcrest Cem, and Union Cem, providing clear points of reference for genealogical research. The terrain is drained by a series of south-flowing waterways, most notably Polecat Creek, Spring Creek, and Eightmile Creek, which carve gentle paths through the agricultural fields and growing suburban clusters. In the southern reach, the map captures the outskirts of Mulvane, illustrating the continued expansion of these communities into the surrounding prairie.
