About this map

The rolling prairies of the southern Kansas borderlands are defined by the winding course of the Caney River and its numerous tributaries. Centered on the town of Sedan, this region showcases a landscape shaped by both agriculture and industry, with an extensive Oil Field noted near the settlement of Salem. Significant transportation corridors include U.S. 160 and U.S. 166, which connect smaller communities like Cedar Vale, Dexter, and Peru.

To the west, the city of Winfield sits near the State Hospital, while the Missouri Pacific RR tracks facilitate transit through the river valleys. Water management and conservation are evident in the presence of Timber Creek Lake and the Kaw Lake State Wildlife Area along the southern edge near the Oklahoma state line. Distinctive landforms such as the Cup and Saucer Hills provide unique topographic landmarks in a territory otherwise dominated by the systematic grid of the Public Land Survey System.
