2009 Map of Windom SW

About this map

The Little Arkansas River and its numerous tributaries, including Salt Creek, Lone Tree Creek, and Sand Creek, dominate this rural landscape in Rice County. This 2009 survey reveals a strictly organized grid of agricultural roads, such as Kiowa Rd and Chisholm Rd, which reflect the region's enduring commitment to section-line development. The presence of the Welch- Bornholdt Oil Field indicates the localized intersection of energy extraction and farming, a common economic driver in central Kansas. Near the center of the quadrangle, the Andover Cemetery stands as a significant point of interest for genealogists, marking the site of a community focal point amidst the sprawling fields. This map captures the area as it transitioned into the early 21st century, maintaining its traditional hydrographic patterns and land use.
