2022 Map of Bazine SW

About this map

The Pawnee River meanders across this rural section of the High Plains, carving a distinct valley through the section lines of western Kansas. This 2022 survey documents the border region between Ness Co and Hodgeman Co, where the landscape is defined by its agricultural grid and intermittent watercourses like Sand Cr. Cultural landmarks are largely focused on the area's pioneer roots and religious heritage, specifically the Saint John the Baptist Cem and Crandall Cem. The map illustrates a sparse settlement pattern common to this part of the state, where named roads like Y Rd and DD Rd serve as the primary lifelines between isolated farmsteads and the burial grounds that mark the region's history.
