2015 Map of Deerhead

About this map

Deerhead serves as the focal point for this section of Barber County, situated amidst a complex network of seasonal drainages and rural corridors. The landscape is defined by the hydrologic branching of Mule Cr, Ash Cr, and the parallel paths of W Dry Cr and E Dry Cr. These waterways dictate the placement of local thoroughfares such as Aetna Rd and Estill Rd, which navigate the terrain alongside lesser-known routes like Crazy Horse. The map details a region where traditional section-line boundaries, including t32s r15w and t33s r15w, overlay a topography primarily utilized for ranching or agriculture. This 2015 survey provides a modern spatial perspective on the enduring rural structure of south-central Kansas, highlighting how contemporary names like Sunnyside Rd and Cottage Creek Rd continue to organize the sparsely populated prairie environment.
