About this map

Strong City and Cottonwood Falls anchor this survey of the Chase County landscape, situated where the Cottonwood River meanders across the southern plains. The area is defined by its water system, including the prominent north-south flow of Fox Cr and several smaller tributaries like Prather Cr and Stout Run. To the west, the settlement of Neva marks a point of historical interest along the rail corridor.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the placement of local burial grounds, including the Simmons Cem near the river, Saint Anthony Cem to the north, and the Strong Township Cem on the eastern outskirts. Economic activity is represented by the Davis Gas Field located in the uplands, while the transition from Old Hwy 50 to local streets like Pine St and Cottonwood St illustrates the evolution of the local transportation network.
