About this map

The Arkansas River and Walnut River converge in this corner of Cowley County, shaping a landscape defined by its waterways and energy resources. The Walnut Bend Oil and Gas Field and Larcom Oil Field underscore the industrial character of the region, where rural section lines and a grid of county roads connect scattered homesteads and recreational sites. Cultural landmarks such as Prairie View Christian Camp and Camp Ko-Ha-Me are positioned near the riverbanks, reflecting the area's use for community gathering and outdoor activities.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several resting places throughout the township, including Parker Cem, Silverdale Cem, and Spring side Cem. The small settlement of Silverdale serves as a central point in the southeastern portion of the map, situated near the winding path of Grouse Cr. Small local developments like those near Lake Wynds and the airstrip at Marrs Field illustrate the late 20th-century footprint of this Kansas river valley.
