2018 Map of Castle Rock NW

About this map

The High Plains of western Kansas are defined by the deep drainage patterns of Big Cr and Hackberry Cr, which carve through the arid landscape of Gove and Trego counties. This 2018 survey documents the enduring grid of the Public Land Survey System, where section lines are traced by local routes like Gove 72 and Co Rd 82. The presence of Red Top Cem and the remote landing area at Jamison Field indicates a sparse, rural settlement pattern typical of the region's agricultural and ranching history. The boundary line between Gove Co and Trego Co runs north-south through the eastern third of the area, marking a political division across the otherwise uniform terrain. Local roads, often following the cardinal directions, provide access to the vast interior sections of t12s r26w and its neighboring townships.
