2012 Map of Elkhart NE

About this map

The Cimarron River and its N Fork Cimarron River dominate this stretch of southwestern Kansas, carving through a landscape defined by expansive livestock grazing lands. This survey documents a highly organized grid of rural infrastructure, where named grazing units like Pasture Number Sixteen, Yoder Pasture, and Mills Pasture indicate large-scale ranching operations. Near the river's path, the George Alwood Recreation Area provides a point of public access, while smaller water bodies such as Wilburton Pond and Mallard Ponds suggest the critical importance of water management in this arid environment. The road network, including Co RD 16 and S RD, follows the township and range lines with mathematical precision, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System on the Morton County terrain.
