2015 Map of Amy SW

About this map

Dry Lake sits at the heart of this landscape where the high plains of western Kansas meet the intersecting borders of Finney, Scott, and Lane Counties. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain defined by a strict section-line grid of rural roads, including S Venison Rd and Arapahoe Rd, which service a patchwork of agricultural land. The transition between Scott and Lane counties is marked by thoroughfares such as Lane-Finney Rd and E Finney Scott Rd. The map provides an essential record of the local infrastructure for researchers interested in the modern rural economy of the Great Plains, illustrating how the historical Public Land Survey System continues to dictate the movement of goods and people across the plains via long-standing routes like Bison Rd and Abilene Rd.
