2015 Map of Waverly SE

About this map

Pottawatomie Cr and its various tributaries define the rural landscape of Anderson and Coffey counties in this 2015 survey. The map reveals a strictly regulated grid of section lines and gravel roads, including Shetland Rd and Yearling Rd, that partition the prairie into agricultural squares. The drainage pattern is particularly evident here, with Long Cr and Rock Cr carving subtle relief into the terrain as they flow toward the primary creek. This topography is characteristic of the Osage Cuestas region, where gentle slopes and stream valleys dictate the placement of farmsteads and rural infrastructure. Local landmarks like Scott Cr and Crooked Cr provide essential orientation for researchers tracking property boundaries or historical land use in this part of Kansas. The absence of concentrated urban centers highlights the area's enduring reliance on the land and the established Public Land Survey System.
