2022 Map of Castle Rock

About this map

Castle Rock stands as the primary landmark of this High Plains landscape, situated along the northern reaches of the Smoky Hill River valley. This 2022 survey captures the expansive rural character of eastern Gove County, where the topography is defined by the erosion-carved breaks and drainage systems of Big Windy Cr, Sand Cr, and Hackberry Cr. The map details the precise section lines and range divisions of the Public Land Survey System, including t14s r26w and its neighboring townships, which dictate the modern grid of local connectors like Castle Rock Rd and 120 Ave. The land use pattern reflects the high-plains agriculture and ranching heritage of western Kansas, where most movement is confined to the gravel county roads that border the vast, open sections of the Gove Co and Trego Co line.
