2009 Map of Deerfield SE

About this map

Reeve Ranch sits at the heart of this Finney County landscape, reflecting the agricultural character of western Kansas at the turn of the 21st century. The map document reveals a highly organized township-and-range grid system, where long stretches of road such as W Parallel Rd and W Pete Smith Rd define the boundaries of large-scale farming and ranching operations. The terrain is marked by its extreme flatness and precise section lines, common in the High Plains. Transportation is facilitated by a network of local routes including Deerfield Ln and W Tv Rd, which serve the scattered homesteads and property holdings of this rural expanse. This 2009 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides an essential record of land use and property divisions before more recent shifts in regional water management and agricultural technology changed the local footprint.
