About this map

The Arkansas River winds across the northern reaches of this High Plains landscape, defining the topography of an area dominated by large-scale agricultural parcels and a strict section-line road grid. This 2012 survey shows the rural character of the land north of Holcomb, where irrigation and ranching shape the human imprint on the terrain. Notable local landmarks include the Brown Ranch in the southern portion and the Deer Field Cem situated near the northwestern corner, providing specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local families.

Transportation is defined by a network of county roads such as S Holcomb Ln, W Crist Rd, and N Kearny Co Line Rd, which mark the boundaries between expansive fields. The presence of specialized infrastructure, like the Ibp Rd, hints at the industrial-scale agricultural operations prevalent in this part of Kansas. The map captures a moment in the early 21st century before modern developments might further alter these traditional land divisions.
