About this map

The small community of Deerhead and the locality of Estill sit within a landscape defined by a dendritic network of seasonal drainages in western Barber County. This 2012 survey documents the rural character of the region just before the mid-2010s, showing a terrain carved by Inman Cr, Mule Cr, and Ash Cr. The map reveals a grid of rural roads that serve the ranching and agricultural interests of the area, including Sw Tumbleweed Rd and Sunnyside Rd.

Tracing the paths of W Dry Cr, E Dry Cr, and Deadman Cr, the map illustrates how water management and topography dictate the placement of local infrastructure. These drainages converge as they move through the quadrangle, reflecting the classic prairie hydrology of southern Kansas. The inclusion of uniquely named routes like Crazy Horse provides specific points of interest for those researching the modern geography and land divisions of the county.
