About this map

The convergence of four Kansas counties defines this agricultural landscape, where the borders of Ness, Rush, Hodgeman, and Pawnee counties meet. The terrain is organized by a strict section-line grid, exemplified by thoroughfares like Ave X and CR 100 Ness Ct Line. This geometric partitioning of the land reflects the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on the High Plains, where townships like t20s r20w are bisected by long-standing transit corridors such as Alexander Rd. The presence of Correction Line Rd in the southern portion of the map highlights the surveying adjustments necessary to account for the earth's curvature, a detail of particular interest to land-use researchers and historical geographers.
