About this map

Middle Fork Sappa Creek and the North Fork Sappa Creek converge on this High Plains landscape, defining the local topography near the northern edge of the state. Surveyed in the late 1970s, this area reflects the organized section-line grids of northwestern Kansas, where the townships of Mirage, Grant, Barrett, and Rovohl meet. Historical markers for genealogists and local researchers include the Ilion Cem and a small Sandpit located near the Sappa Creek drainage. The land is characterized by numerous water wells and surveyed section corners, illustrating the transition from open range to established agricultural boundaries along the Rawlins Co Thomas Co line.
