About this map

Little Beaver Creek meanders through the arid, high-plains landscape of the Kansas borderlands, cutting a distinct topographical path across this 1981 survey. This map highlights the agricultural and township divisions of the region, specifically focusing on the rural expanses of Wano and Voltaire. The terrain is characterized by subtle drainage patterns and numerous groundwater wells, reflecting the importance of water management in this western Kansas environment. The boundary of Cheyenne Co Sherman Co runs horizontally through the center, marking the administrative divide in a region defined by its vast sections and occasional bridges crossing the creek. This sheet captures a quiet, industrious period of land use before modern technological shifts in farming, focusing on the essential features of the rural high plains.
