2012 Map of Dodge City NW

About this map

Buckner Cr and its tributary, the S Fork Buckner Cr, dominate this section of the High Plains north of Dodge City. The drainage pattern of these waterways provides the primary geographic structure in a landscape otherwise defined by the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System. The transition from rural section roads like B RD and 100th Rd to the more developed southern edge near Chestnut St reflects the gradual encroachment of suburban infrastructure. Notable local thoroughfares such as Antelope Rd and the aptly named Backtrail cut across the territory, tracing the movement of modern transit through a region historically significant for its proximity to the Santa Fe Trail corridor.
