About this map

Beaver Cr meanders through the high plains of Rawlins County, defining the drainage patterns of this agricultural landscape. This 2022 survey illustrates the methodical Public Land Survey System layout of northwestern Kansas, where township and range lines like t4s r35w and t4s r34w provide the framework for rural life. The terrain is a network of draws and ridges, with the N Fork Sappa Cr cutting through the southern sections.

A strictly organized grid of section-line roads, including Co Rd 407, Rd L, and Rd G, connects the scattered farmsteads and holdings characteristic of the region. This contemporary data from the U.S. Geological Survey and GNIS records the enduring spatial organization of the Kansas prairie, showing how modern transportation routes like Co Rd H still follow the original nineteenth-century land partitions.
