2018 Map of Drury Creek

About this map

S Fork Republican River winds through the northwestern corner of this Kansas landscape, defining the hydrology of a region dominated by wide drainage basins and periodic watercourses. The map illustrates a highly organized grid of rural roads and section lines typical of the High Plains, where the terrain is etched by seasonal tributaries like Drury Cr and the W Fork Sand Cr. These intermittent streams flow through a series of north-south valleys, separated by broad upland ridges. This 2018 survey reveals the persistent agricultural and ranching patterns of Cheyenne County, where human infrastructure is largely limited to a network of county roads including Co RD M, Co RD G, and Co RD E, which connect isolated homesteads and provide access across the undulating prairie.
