About this map

The Arkansas River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape west of Dodge City, marking a significant transition in the topography of Ford and Gray counties. The small settlement of Howell is positioned along the northern bank of the river, serving as a focal point for the local agricultural network. This area is defined by its sectional grid system, with long-established routes such as Iron Rd and Garnett Rd providing access to the fertile plains between the river and the northern drainage basins.

Moving north, the terrain is shaped by the headwaters of Saw Log Cr and the distant S Fork Buckner Cr. Local history is anchored by the Ridenour Cem, situated near the intersection of Foothill Rd, which reflects the early 20th-century homesteading pattern of this High Plains region. The map clearly delineates the boundary between Gray Co and Ford Co, illustrating how administrative lines intersect with the natural flow of the river valley.
