1989 Map of Saffordville

About this map

Saffordville and the nearby siding of Ellinor sit along the northern banks of the Cottonwood River in this detailed survey of Chase County. The landscape is defined by the winding drainages of Buckeye Creek, Peyton Creek, and Stout Creek, which carve through the Flint Hills terrain. To the north, the small settlement of Toledo remains a distinct marker of early Kansas habitation near East Buckeye Creek. Historical researchers will find the location of Hillside Cem and various local landmarks such as a Radio Tower and a Gravel Pit. The map captures the infrastructure of the late 1980s, including a prominent Pipeline traversing the rural townships of Strong, Toledo, and Falls. Small water bodies like Kahola dot the northern reaches, while Bull Creek joins the river system near the rail lines that historically served these prairie communities.
