About this map

Copeland serves as the primary hub in this corner of Gray County, defined by its rectilinear grid and the intersection of local routes. The town structure is anchored by Thatcher St and Moore St, with the central Po serving as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural community. Outside the town limits, the landscape transitions into a vast network of section-line roads, such as Co Rd-140 and Co Rd-160, which partition the Kansas plains into precise geometric blocks.

Crooked Cr provides the only significant break in this structured grid, winding its way through the northern and central portions of the quadrangle. The small settlement of Tice appears to the southwest along the rail corridor, illustrating the vital link between these isolated plains communities and the wider transportation network. This map provides a clear record of the enduring township-and-range surveying system that shaped the settlement patterns of western Kansas.
