2022 Map of Dighton SW

About this map

Hackberry Cr carves a distinctive drainage pattern across the high plains of western Kansas, defining the topographic relief of this rural landscape. The map captures the boundary between Lane Co and Finney Co, a line traced by Lane-Finney Rd at the southern edge of the quadrangle. The region is organized by a precise grid of sectional roads, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in the American West. Named corridors like Ogallalah Rd, Mustang Rd, and Longhorn Rd provide access to the vast agricultural tracts between township lines. This 2022 survey illustrates the intersection of modern county infrastructure and the natural hydrologic features of the High Plains, where drainage branches like those of Hackberry Creek disrupt the otherwise uniform township and range grid.
