About this map

The North Branch Verdigris River and its network of tributaries define the hydrology of this Chase County landscape. The map captures a section of the Flint Hills region where drainage patterns move primarily southeast, fed by smaller streams such as Camp Creek and Bull Creek. Modern transportation is represented by the diagonal corridor of Highway 35, which cuts across the terrain and intersects the winding paths of Sharpes Creek and its East Branch. The land remains primarily open, with these watercourses serving as the primary geographic landmarks in a region defined by its subtle ridges and creek valleys. Other notable waterways include Bloody Creek, Wolf Creek, and Norton Creek in the northern reaches, illustrating the complex watershed that eventually feeds the larger river systems of the Kansas plains.
