2009 Map of Dewey Ranch SW

About this map

Beaver Creek meanders through the heart of this landscape in Sherman County, Kansas, defining the drainage patterns of an area dominated by agricultural sections. The map reveals the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, where section lines are traced by a network of rural routes such as Co Rd 31, Co Rd 36, and County Line Rd. This geometry of the High Plains is punctuated by small, significant landmarks essential to the local community's history. Fairview Cemetery stands as a focal point for genealogical interest, located near the intersection of Co Rd 77 and Co Rd 391. The transition from the flat tableland to the gentle breaks of the creek valley shows the subtle topography that influenced early farmstead placement and road development in this western portion of the state.
