2015 Map of South Haven

About this map

The town of South Haven serves as the primary hub of this Sumner County landscape, situated near the intersection of various rural routes and the Santa Fe Railroad corridor. The map reveals a deeply etched drainage system defined by the various branches of Shoo Fly Creek, including Middle Shoo Fly Creek, East Shoo Fly Creek, and West Shoo Fly Creek. These waterways dictate the local topography, carving through the section lines of the Public Land Survey System that organize the surrounding agricultural territory. To the south, the settlement of Hunnewell sits near the state border, while Drury is positioned along the western edge of the survey. Local history is anchored by sites like Rose Hill Cemetery and Gödel Cemetery, which provide points of interest for genealogists tracing early family roots in the region. The map also documents the seasonal nature of smaller tributaries like Spring Creek and Antelope Creek as they feed into the larger creek network.
