2012 Map of Gove NE

About this map

Hackberry Cr winds through this rural section of Gove County, defining the drainage patterns of an open Kansas landscape primarily organized by a rigid grid of county roads. The watercourse and its smaller tributary, E Spring Cr, are the primary natural landmarks in an area dominated by agricultural sections. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the modern infrastructure of the High Plains, where routes like Gove 5 and Gove 58 facilitate travel across the expansive terrain. The map's contour lines reveal the gentle draws and subtle rises typical of this part of the state, showing how property boundaries and local transit such as Co Rd-499 and Co Rd-452 adhere to the cardinal directions of the original public land surveys.
