2021 Map of Dittons Creek

About this map

Stinking Water Cr and Dittons Cr carve distinct drainage patterns through the upland plains of Chase County in this 2021 U.S. Geological Survey topographic study. The landscape is defined by the Public Land Survey System, with township boundaries like T8n R37w and T7n R36w organizing the terrain into a rigid grid of agricultural sections. This modern survey illustrates the persistent importance of the section-line road network, where routes such as 744 Rd and Rd 738 provide the primary infrastructure for the region's sparse rural properties. The contour lines reveal the subtle, rolling topography that characterizes the breaks near the watercourses, highlighting the intersection between the natural hydrology of the High Plains and the orderly human imposition of the township-and-range system.
