About this map

Chapman Cr meanders through the heart of this Dickinson County landscape, shaping a terrain defined by the township divisions of t11s r3e, t11s r4e, and t12s r3e. The settlement of Upland anchors the northeast, while Sutphen and Moonlight represent the dispersed rural centers typical of this Kansas prairie region. A network of numbered avenues and named roads, including Nail Road (1600) and Paint Road (1800), follows the grid system established by early land surveys.

Local history is preserved in the distribution of several rural burial grounds, such as Liberty Cem and Good Hope Cem, which often mark the locations of former pioneer congregations. The convergence of Curtis Cr in the northeast corner and the broader drainage of Chapman Cr provide the primary natural landmarks in an area otherwise organized by agricultural boundary lines and long-established section roads.
