2012 Map of Fowler SW

About this map

Crooked Cr winds through this rural portion of Meade County, creating the primary topographic variation in an otherwise strictly organized agricultural landscape. The map reveals the rigid township and range section lines that define western Kansas, with a network of numbered thoroughfares such as 24 RD and L RD providing access to the vast plains. In the northern reaches, Old Highway 54 cuts diagonally across the grid, bypassing the section-line logic of the secondary roads. This area is anchored by the Fowler Cem, a significant site for local genealogical research located near Sand Hill Rd. The map illustrates the quiet transition of land use in the early twenty-first century, where traditional rural routes like Co Road I intersect with newer naming conventions, reflecting the enduring structure of High Plains settlement patterns.
