About this map

Whitewater serves as the primary hub of this landscape at the intersection of Harvey, Butler, and Sedgwick Counties. The town’s grid is clearly defined by streets such as N Main St and E Central ST, reflecting a classic Midwestern settlement pattern oriented around agriculture and local transport. Further west, the smaller communities of Annelly and Furley occupy the agricultural plains, connected by a network of rural routes including Co RD 580 and K 196.

Waterways like the W Br Whitewater River and Gypsum Cr carve through the section lines, while several burial grounds, including Swiss Cem, Whitewater Cem, and Green Valley Cem, provide localized points of interest for genealogists tracing early families. The map illustrates how the natural drainages of Wildcat Cr and Sand Cr intersect the rigid survey grid, dictating the placement of farmsteads and rural infrastructure in this section of the Kansas plains.
