2009 Map of Calvert

About this map

Calvert stands as the primary settlement in this section of Norton County, situated at the junction of the railroad and the northern plains drainage systems. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Prairie Dog Creek, which draws in several smaller tributaries including Spring Branch, Spring Creek, and Wildcat Creek. This 2009 USGS survey illustrates a persistent rural grid system, where section roads like RD E 7 and K O N K RD provide access to the surrounding agricultural uplands. Further south, the terrain slopes toward Walnut Creek and Big Timber Creek, showing the traditional western Kansas pattern of settlements following the water and rail lines while the high ground remains dedicated to farming and open range.
