2017 Map of Canning NW

About this map

Dry Run and Mush Cr meander through this section of Hughes County, defining the drainage patterns of a landscape segmented by a precise grid of rural section roads. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the modern configuration of agricultural land and transit corridors northeast of the state capital. Local named roads such as Marble Rd, Nystrom Rd, and Wood Pl provide specific geographic markers for genealogists and local historians tracing family landholdings or property boundaries within the townships of T112N R78W and T111N R78W. The topographic detail illustrates the subtle elevation changes characteristic of the Missouri River plateau, where seasonal waterways like Dry Run have carved gentle depressions into the plains.
