2018 Map of Brownell

About this map

Brownell anchors the southwestern portion of this landscape, situated along Davis Ave where the plains of Ness County meet the drainage systems of the Smoky Hill River valley. The terrain is defined by the carved paths of intermittent waterways like Big Timber Cr and Tunnel Cr, which cut through the high plains to create distinct geological landmarks such as Round House Rock and the steep contours of Goat Canyon. This 2018 survey illustrates a rural Kansas environment where section line roads like Ee RD and DD RD form a rigid grid over the undulating natural topography of Wildon Draw. The map captures the boundary line between Trego and Ness Counties, reflecting the enduring township and range system that has organized this agricultural region since the nineteenth century.
