About this map

Newton anchors the northern border of this central Kansas landscape, where the agricultural grid of Harvey County meets the northern edge of Sedgwick County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of prairie waterways, including the winding Jester Creek and Gooseberry Creek systems that feed south toward the larger drainage basins. Small rural hubs like Keechi and Woodlawn are situated along section-line roads, reflecting the long-standing land divisions of the Public Land Survey System.

Aviation and transportation infrastructure are integrated into the open country, most notably at the Lil Bird Airport near the southern boundary. The survey meticulously documents the transition from the developed outskirts of Newton to the more sparsely populated rural townships characterized by names like McLains. Water features such as Gast Lake and the various forks of Chisholm Creek provide a clear view of the natural hydrology that dictates the placement of the region's farms and thoroughfares.
