About this map

The settlement of Brownell sits at the southern edge of this West Central Kansas landscape, where the prairie begins to break into the drainage systems of the Smoky Hill River valley. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain defined by subtle but distinct landmarks such as Round House Rock and the drainage of Wildon Draw to the northeast. The land is organized by the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines like t15s r22w and t16s r21w dictating the modern road network, including Davis Ave and CC Rd.

Water management and natural erosion patterns are evident in the winding courses of Big Timber Cr and Tunnel Cr, which cut through the high plains. Further north, towards the Trego County line, the topography becomes more pronounced at Goat Canyon. This map provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, showing how contemporary section-line roads like E 290 Rd interface with older geographic features.
