2012 Map of Dighton SW

About this map

Hackberry Cr winds through the northern Finney County landscape, representing one of the few significant hydrological breaks in this high plains region. The map reflects a meticulously organized section-line grid typical of Kansas agricultural development, defined by thoroughfares like S Longhorn Rd and Mustang Rd. This 2012 U.S. Geological Survey topographic study shows the relationship between the natural drainage of Spring Cr and the precise road network that facilitates the region's ranching and farming operations. The southern boundary is anchored by E Finney Scott Rd, illustrating the intersection of county transit and rural land management. The drainage patterns of the creeks against the rigid road system provide a clear view of how water resources dictate land use in this semi-arid part of the state.
