About this map

The Logan County high plains are defined by a rhythmic grid of rural roads and the meandering drainage of the Hackberry Creek system. In the early twenty-first century, this landscape remains primarily agricultural, punctuated by private landing strips including Evans Airport and Stevenson Airport. The terrain is etched by the Middle Branch Hackberry Creek, South Branch Hackberry Creek, and Plum Creek, which create natural breaks in the rectangular sections. Local naming conventions are visible through road designations such as Topeka, Plains, and Navajo, reflecting a systematic organization of the prairie. The presence of Highway 83 on the western edge provides a primary transit link through this sparsely populated reach of western Kansas, where the survey details the subtle elevation changes of the open plains.
