About this map

The Cottonwood River floodplain dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, where the settlements of Saffordville and Ellinor are positioned along the primary transportation corridors. This area of Chase County reflects a classic Kansas section-line road grid, with numerous local routes such as 250 Rd and Z Rd providing access to the interior rangeland and creek bottoms. The northern portion of the map is defined by the drainage systems of Buckeye Cr and Peyton Cr, which cut through the undulating terrain toward the river valley below.

Genealogists and local historians will find the location of Hillside Cem on the eastern edge of the quadrangle particularly useful for tracing family roots in the vicinity of Saffordville. The presence of Old Hwy 50 provides a clear view of the historical path of travel through the region before modern highway realignments, connecting these small communities to the broader agricultural economy of the Flint Hills region.
