About this map

The tiny settlement of Calvert stands as the primary namesake for this 2015 survey, situated in the northeast corner where the local road network converges. The landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of several seasonal and perennial waterways, most notably Prairie Dog Cr and its various tributaries including Walnut Cr and Wildcat Cr. These stream beds carve through the upland terrain, creating a complex series of ridges and valleys that have historically dictated the placement of rural section-line roads like RD J and RD L.

The human footprint across this Norton County landscape remains primarily agricultural, marked by a sparse grid of gravel routes and state highways such as 383 and 36. These transportation corridors follow the natural contours of the land, avoiding the deeper draws of Spring Cr and Big Timber Cr. The map captures a contemporary view of the Public Land Survey System divisions, showing the enduring structure of townships like t2s-r22w and t2s-r23w.
