About this map

The rolling plains of Trego County are defined here by a series of intermittent drainage systems carving through the high Kansas prairie. Big Cr meanders across the northern sections, while the headwaters of Downer Cr and its E Br Downer Cr originate in the central and eastern portions of the quadrangle. This area reflects the classic township and range system, with a rigid grid of local thoroughfares such as K Rd and 150 Ave that facilitate access across this agricultural landscape. The lack of concentrated town sites emphasizes the region's character as a working ranching and farming territory, where the topography of the draws and creek beds dictated the placement of early homesteads and road networks.
