2012 Map of Black Wolf

About this map

Black Wolf occupies a quiet bend of the Smoky Hill River in Ellsworth County, where the southern plains transition into a landscape shaped by several significant watercourses. The drainage of Buffalo Cr and Cow Cr dominates the central and western sections of this 2012 survey, defining the agricultural layout of the region. The map reveals a strictly organized section-line road network, including Avenue A through Avenue I, which provides a window into the land division that has governed this part of Kansas for generations.
