About this map

The N Fork Solomon River and S Fork Solomon River define the undulating landscape of this Thomas County region. The map captures a high-plains environment dominated by watercourses that dictate the local topography, including Prairie Dog Cr in the northern reaches. This 2015 survey illustrates a meticulous grid of rural infrastructure, where a network of county roads like Co Rd 11 and Co Rd 12 provides access across the townships. The drainage patterns of the Solomon River forks are clearly visible, illustrating the vital role these waterways play in the agricultural geography of the Kansas plains. This survey serves as a precise record of the land's contours and the intersection of modern road systems with natural water features.
