About this map

Cheyenne Bottoms dominates the northern half of this landscape, a significant wetland basin situated in the heart of the central flyway. The 2016 survey illustrates the intricate network of water management through the marshlands, fed by Blood Cr and bordered by Cheyenne Bottoms Rd. This transition from the flat, aquatic environment of the bottoms to the more dissected terrain further south reveals the hydraulic character of Barton County.

South of the wetlands, the map shows the institutional footprint of the Barton County Community College campus near the intersection of College View Dr and Point Dr. The southern reaches of the quadrangle are defined by the winding courses of Walnut Cr and Dry Walnut Cr, while Button Airport provides a localized landmark for the aviation-minded. This data provides an essential look at the modern balance between agricultural land, educational infrastructure, and large-scale wildlife habitat.
