About this map

The Cimarron National Grassland dominates this landscape in the northwestern corner of Morton County, Kansas. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the North Fork Cimarron River and the Cimarron River, which carve through a series of numbered grazing allotments, such as CNG Pasture Number Seven and CNG Pasture Number Twentyone.

Historically significant routes cross this prairie, most notably the Santa Fe National Historic Trl, providing a clear path for researchers tracing the legacy of westward expansion. Other local paths like the N Rte Middle Spring Connector Trl and Companion Trl offer further detail on the access points within these public lands. Named grazing areas like Greenwood Pasture and North Fork Pasture illustrate the specialized land management practiced in this part of the High Plains.
