About this map

Deerfield and Lakin anchor this western Kansas landscape in Kearny County, where the plains meet the vital waters of the Arkansas River. The region's agricultural dependency is clearly traced through an intricate network of irrigation systems, including the Amazon Ditch and Martin Ditch, which channel water toward the expansive Lake McKinney. This 2022 survey details the grid-patterned growth of the settlements, with street-level accuracy for roads such as Main St and Sixth Ave in Deerfield.

Local history is preserved through landmarks like the Lakin Cem and a dense system of rural section roads, including Tate Lane Co Rd V. The terrain is defined by the contrast between the river valley and the surrounding high plains, illustrating how modern Kansas land management continues to revolve around the ancient path of the Arkansas and the essential reservoirs that sustain the high desert environment.
