About this map

The High Plains of Western Kansas are defined here by a series of dramatic drainage patterns, where the headwaters of S Br Hackberry Cr and its tributaries have carved deep, winding valleys into the plateau. This 2022 survey captures the border between Logan and Gove counties, a landscape predominantly organized around a grid of rural county roads such as Co RD 440 and Co RD 460.

What stands out is the preservation of tribal and geographic names throughout the sections, including identifiers like Osage, Navajo, and Ute, as well as Topeka and Seneca. These labels reflect a systematic naming convention across the township sections. The topographic relief is most pronounced in the north near Middle Br Hackberry Cr and the south along Plum Cr, showing the erosion-resistant nature of the upland terrain between these seasonal watercourses.
