About this map

Driftwood Creek and its associated waterworks define this landscape along the Nebraska-Kansas border, where the High Plains transition into a network of deeply etched drainages. The map reveals the intricate water management of the region, specifically the Driftwood W Canal which skirts the Hitchcock and Red Willow County line. This agricultural territory is segmented by several prominent natural features, including the broad Tipton Canyon and the branching Burr Oak Canyon and East Oak Canyon to the southwest. Human presence is marked by isolated landmarks like the Grove Cemetery and Hoyt Airport, connected by a grid of rural county roads such as Co RD 710 and Co RD 375. The survey illustrates the persistence of the Public Land Survey System, showing how township lines like t1n r31w dictate the settlement patterns of this plains environment.
