About this map

Elkhart sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape, serving as a gateway to the grasslands and river bottoms of Morton County. The Cimarron River winds across the northern half of the territory, its course flanked by distinct grazing allotments such as Point Pasture and College Green Pasture. A notable geologic landmark, Point of Rocks, rises near the river, anchoring a terrain defined by managed rangelands and irrigation infrastructure like Happy Ditch.

The southern portion of the sheet transitions from the rural expanse of Moore Pasture into the community hub of Elkhart. Local activity centers on the Morton County Fairgrounds and the Elkhart-Morton County Airport, while the grid of North St and various county roads organize the agricultural landscape. This survey illustrates the modern intersection of aviation, recreation at the Cimarron River Campground, and the traditional cattle-rearing economy of the Kansas High Plains.
