2012 Map of Dewey Ranch SW

About this map

Beaver Cr meanders across this High Plains landscape in Sherman County, forming the primary drainage through a highly organized agricultural grid. The terrain is defined by a rigorous section-line road network, where routes such as Road D, Road A, and Co Rd 391 mark the boundaries of industrial-scale farming operations. This 2012 survey shows the persistent geometry of the Kansas prairie, where the natural course of the creek provides the only deviation from the straight lines of rural infrastructure. Researchers of local land use will find a clear record of modern property access and water management, with numbered routes like Road 34 and Road 79 connecting the various tracts of this ranching and wheat-growing region.
