2009 Map of Sun City

About this map

The Medicine Lodge River meanders across this Barber County landscape, defining the character of the region south of the Elm Mills area. The small settlement of Sun City serves as the focal point, situated near the river and the quiet grounds of Sunnyside Cemetery. The terrain is marked by a complex network of resource extraction, with the Sun City Oil Field, Moffett West Oil Field, and Turkey Creek East Gas Field distributed throughout the rolling countryside. This 2009 survey highlights a rural economy where petroleum interests coexist with agricultural land. Local infrastructure is anchored by primary routes like Sun City Rd and River Rd, which connect isolated homesteads and the Turkey Creek Camp to the larger creek systems of Turkey Creek and Mulberry Creek. To the north, Chinn Cemetery stands as another quiet landmark of early settlement history in this sparsely populated stretch of Kansas.
