2016 Map of Dodge City SW

About this map

Howell sits as the central settlement on this southwestern Kansas landscape, positioned along the northern bank of the Arkansas River. This 2016 survey illustrates the organized agricultural grid typical of Ford and Gray counties, divided by long arterial routes such as Iron Rd and Garnett Rd. The topography is defined by the drainage basins of Saw Log Cr and the S-Fork Buckner Cr, which carve subtle relief into the plains. Genealogists will find the Ridenour Cem located north of Howell, a quiet marker of local history amidst the section lines. The map captures the meeting of the Gray and Ford county lines, showing how the river corridor continues to influence the placement of transportation and community hubs in this prairie region.
