About this map

Frenchman Cr and Wildhorse Cr wind through this corner of Phillips County, carving subtle drainage patterns into the high plains. The landscape is defined by the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, with townships like t7n r44w and t7n r43w organized into mile-square sections. This geometric order is mirrored by the county road network, where routes such as Co Rd 26 and Co RD 14 follow section lines with mathematical precision. The map illustrates the specialized infrastructure of a modern agricultural environment, showing the relationship between water sources and the surveyed land divisions. Small depressions and intermittent stream channels emphasize the reliance on local topography for drainage in an area otherwise dominated by large-scale dryland or irrigated farming plots.
