About this map

White Woman Cr and its major tributary, the S Fork White Woman Cr, carve a meandering drainage pattern across this high plains landscape of western Kansas. The terrain is defined by a rigorous grid of section-line roads, such as Co Road A and Co Road X, reflecting the systematic agricultural organization of the region. This 2012 survey by the U. S. Geological Survey captures the area's transition into the twenty-first century, where traditional land use meets modern mapping precision.

While the map is sparse in terms of dense settlements, it is a significant resource for understanding the rural infrastructure of Greeley County. The intersection of local routes like Co Rd-79 and Kansas Co Rd illustrates the connectivity required for farming and ranching operations in this part of Colony Township West. The subtle topography indicated by the drainage of the White Woman Cr system highlights the natural features that dictate the placement of these vital transportation corridors.
