2015 Map of East Bridge Creek North

About this map

The high plains of western Hamilton County are defined here by a series of intermittent drainage systems that carve the terrain as they flow generally southward. The landscape is dominated by the upper reaches of E Bridge Cr and W Bridge Cr, which create distinct topographic variations in an otherwise uniform agricultural and ranching region. A strict rectangular grid of section lines and local transit routes, such as Rd 7 and Rd G, provides the primary structure for land management and movement across the townships of t21s r42w and t22s r42w. This 2015 survey reflects a rural landscape where water resources like Spring Cr are the primary natural landmarks in an environment organized by the Public Land Survey System. The sparse distribution of named roads and the reliance on the creek networks illustrate the enduring spatial patterns of this remote part of the Kansas prairie.
