2022 Map of Bucklin NE

About this map

The Arkansas River carves a diagonal path through this corner of the High Plains, serving as the primary geographical anchor for a landscape defined by the intersection of Ford, Edwards, and Kiowa counties. The terrain is marked by the distinctive drainage of Coon Cr in the northwest and a vast network of section-line roads that reflect the rigid organization of the Public Land Survey System. Local road names such as Butter and Egg Rd, Outlaw Rd, and Lariat Rd offer a glimpse into the agricultural and ranching heritage that has shaped this region. This 2022 survey captures the modern rural infrastructure, showing the sparse but persistent settlement pattern characterized by large-scale farming plots and the enduring reliance on the river's valley for orientation in an otherwise uniform prairie environment.
