2012 Map of Deerfield SW

About this map

Kearny County rural lands southwest of Deerfield appear here in a highly organized section-line grid, characteristic of the High Plains landscape in western Kansas. The terrain is defined by its agricultural layout, where primary transit relies on a network of straight-line gravel and dirt roads like Co Rd 526 and Road Q-31. Localized access to individual farmsteads and fields is facilitated by smaller routes such as Tate Ln and Deerfield Ln. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring rectilinear pattern of land division that has governed Kansas ranching and farming since the original land grants, showing a landscape where vast open spaces are punctuated only by the essential infrastructure of rural life and the quiet utility of the prairie road system.
