2017 Map of Cottonwood Creek NW

About this map

Grand River meanders deeply through the center of this Corson County landscape, creating a series of sharp oxbows and river bends that dominate the local topography. This 2017 survey captures the drainage patterns of the northern Great Plains, where numerous intermittent streams like Cedar Boy Cr and Meadow Cr feed into the primary river valley. The terrain is marked by the distinct drainage of Black Horse Butte Cr in the southwest, reflecting the erosional character of the Rock Creek District. Human presence is defined by the rigid section lines of the Public Land Survey System, which dictate the path of local routes such as Morristown Rd and 115th St. This map is particularly useful for visualizing how contemporary road networks and agricultural boundaries conform to the complex winding path of the Grand River.
