About this map

Great Bend dominates the northwestern corner of this Kansas landscape, where the urban grid meets the agricultural heartland of Barton County. The eastern edge of the city transitions into a network of section-line roads, revealing the quiet settlement of Dartmouth. The region is defined by its hydrology, specifically the eastward flow of the Arkansas River and its tributary, Walnut Creek, which meanders across the northern portion of the sheet. The survey records a rural landscape organized around education and transport, anchored by the Bellville School to the south. Transportation corridors like E Barton County Rd and 10th St link the scattered farmsteads to the regional center, while the grid of numbered avenues and roads illustrates the deliberate survey patterns that shaped the plains.
