About this map

Vincent and Cheyenne anchor this rural landscape along the southern border of Osborne County and Russell County during the late 1970s. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems including Coon Creek and Fourmile Creek, which carve through the townships of Covert, Winfield, and Valley. A notable geological landmark, Cheyenne Gap, provides a natural corridor in the north-central region, while the presence of a Quarry in the south suggests the local extraction of limestone or other minerals common to the Kansas plains.

Genealogists will find value in the mapped locations of Potterville Cemetery and Cheyenne Church, which serve as community touchpoints for the dispersed farmstead population. A significant utility pipeline traverses the midsection of the quadrangle, cutting across Jackson township. The map illustrates a strictly agricultural and resource-based economy, showing the transition from upland divides to the valley of Wolf Creek in the southwest corner.
