About this map

The Colby urban fringe and the surrounding agricultural expanses of Thomas County define this 2012 survey. Located at the intersection of major transport routes, the southeastern portion of the city includes a mix of residential streets like Davis Ave and Sewell Ave, alongside specialized sites like Bourquin's Recreational Vehicle Park. This map provides a clear look at the transitional zone where the high plains grid meets the natural drainage systems of the region.

The terrain is dissected by the eastern-flowing courses of the N Fork Solomon River and the S Fork Solomon River. These waterways create a sinuous landscape of draws and stream beds that break the rigid section-line road network, which includes routes such as Co Road Q and Co Rd-20. This document is an essential resource for understanding modern land use and water management in the Kansas wheat belt.
