About this map

The Arkansas River and Walnut River converge near the growing community of Parkerfield, marking a landscape defined by its waterways and energy resources. In the early 21st century, this portion of Cowley County remained an active site for extraction, evidenced by the Larcom Oil Field and the Walnut Bend Oil and Gas Field to the north. These industrial footprints sit alongside rural infrastructure like Marrs Field and Charden Farms Airport, showing the intersection of local aviation and the regional petroleum economy.

Downstream toward the settlement of Silverdale, the geography shifts as Grouse Creek and Otter Creek feed into the river system. For genealogists and local historians, the area is anchored by several long-standing landmarks, including Parker Cemetery, Silverdale Cemetery, and Springside Cemetery. The inclusion of Camp Ko-Ha-Me near the southern bend of the river highlights the area's use for organized recreation amidst the agricultural and industrial land use of southern Kansas.
