2018 Map of Dighton SW

About this map

The county line between Lane Co and Finney Co divides this rural Kansas landscape, where the High Plains terrain is etched by the drainage of Hackberry Cr. Surveyed in the late 2010s, the map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and gravel roads that define the region's agricultural layout. Notable thoroughfares like Kaw Rd and Longhorn Rd segment the territory into precise square-mile sections, typical of the Homestead Act legacy. In the northeastern corner, Spring Cr cuts through the elevation, while the southern reaches are marked by the junction of Lane-Finney Rd and E Finney Scott Rd. This survey documents a sparsely populated but heavily managed landscape where land use is dictated by the subtle topography of the creek beds and the rigid North American Datum of 1984 alignment.
