About this map

The Cimarron River meanders across the southern landscape of this Clark County survey, defining the geography of the Kansas and Oklahoma borderlands. This region is characterized by a dense network of seasonal and perennial drainage systems, including Little Sandy Cr, Big Sandy Cr, and Bullard Cr, which carve through the plains. The map reveals a strictly organized section-line road grid, featuring routes like Acres Rd and River Rd, occasionally interrupted by the more diagonal path of the Shortgrass Prairie Trl in the northwest. This 2016 data illustrates a sparsely populated agricultural and ranching environment where the land is largely shaped by watercourses like Stink Cr and Keiger Cr rather than urban centers. The juxtaposition of modern county roads against the natural winding of the river and creeks provides a clear view of how land management follows the township and range system in this border territory.
