2018 Map of Silverdale

About this map

The confluence of the Walnut River and the Arkansas River defines the landscape of southeastern Cowley County, just east of Arkansas City. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain of low bluffs and river bottoms, characterized by the prominent elevation at Cardiac Hill overlooking the Arkansas River. The settlement pattern is largely rural, anchored by the small communities of Parkerfield and Silverdale. Longstanding local history is preserved through the locations of several burial grounds, including Parker Cem, Silverdale Cem, and Springside Cem. Transportation across the river valleys is facilitated by a network of county roads like Co Rd 12 and Co Rd 22, while local landmarks such as Munson Field and Lake Wynds provide modern points of interest. Eastward, Grouse Creek and Otter Cr cut through the hills, illustrating the natural drainage system of the Kansas plains.
