2015 Map of Dewey Ranch

About this map

Dewey Ranch serves as the primary named landmark in this expanse of the High Plains in northwest Kansas. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Little Beaver Cr in the north and Beaver Cr winding through the south, where the intermittent watercourses have carved distinct relief into the prairie. A sparse grid of rural thoroughfares, including Rd 4 and Co Rd 407, provides the only infrastructure across these townships. This 2015 survey reflects the enduring character of Rawlins County, where land use remains centered on large-scale ranching and the Public Land Survey System divisions. The map captures a moment of modern continuity, documenting the essential water sources and roads that sustain the ranching economy in this corner of the state.
