County dismisses Creswell Township road-vacation after U.S. Attorney objects

Board of County Commissioners · February 3, 2026

Summary

Cowley County commissioners voted 3-0 to dismiss a proposed vacation of 77th Road in Creswell Township after the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Kansas asked that the road not be vacated because it would landlock property managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

County Counselor Mark Krusor told the board that the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of the United States Attorney for the District of Kansas, sent a letter requesting that the county not vacate a section of 77th Road in Creswell Township because vacating it would landlock property managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The board voted 3-0 to dismiss the road-vacation request.

Kruser (spelled in transcript as Krusor) said the concern is that vacating the road could landlock federal property; commissioners moved to dismiss the vacation request rather than proceed and potentially create a legal conflict. No appeal or next steps were recorded in the minutes.
