About this map

Bluff City sits on the eastern edge of this agricultural landscape in southern Kansas, serving as the primary hub for the surrounding township blocks. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Bluff Cr and its tributaries like Wildcat Cr and Buehr Cr, which carve subtle variations into the prairie. These waterways dictate the local geography, winding through sections dominated by the rectilinear grid of county roads such as Se 40 RD and Se 80 RD.

Small-scale local history is evident in the presence of Hawk, a small settlement in the northern portion of the map, and Wilcox Field, which represents the rural aviation and agricultural utility of the region. The map details the Public Land Survey System divisions, including t34s r6w and t35s r5w, providing a clear view of how land ownership and farming boundaries were established along the waterways of Rock Cr and Silver Cr.
