2012 Map of Bloom SW

About this map

Little Sandy Cr and Keiger Cr carve a complex drainage pattern through this section of the High Plains in Clark County. The most prominent topographic landmark on the sheet is Sugarloaf, a distinct elevation that stands out against the surrounding terrain. Unlike more densely settled regions, this area is defined by its wide-open landscape and a network of rural roads that follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. This 2012 survey documents the land as it appeared in the early 21st century, illustrating the enduring agricultural and ranching character of the Kansas prairie. The map provides a clear look at the relationship between the natural watercourses and the human-imposed grid, where local roads navigate the contours of the drainage breaks.
