2012 Map of Ellinwood NE

About this map

Cheyenne Bottoms dominates the northwestern corner of this Barton County landscape, marking a significant basin that defines the local hydrology and land use. This 2012 survey reveals the rigid section-line grid that organizes the central Kansas prairie, where gravel and paved routes like NE 90 Ave and NE 80 Rd segment the territory into precise agricultural plots. The drainage patterns of Cow Cr and the meandering Little Cheyenne Cr provide the only organic breaks in this geometry, winding through the eastern and southern portions of the quadrangle.
