2022 Map of Gove SE

About this map

The Smoky Hill River winds through the southern reaches of this Gove County landscape, creating a distinct topographical break in the High Plains terrain. The area is defined by a grid of rural roads and section lines typical of the Public Land Survey System, with the land divided across townships T13S through T15S. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies two significant landmarks of early settlement: Morning Star Cem in the north and Alanthus Cem further south near the river valley. The drainage of Indian Cr cuts across the central and southern portions of the quadrangle, feeding into the larger river system. This 2022 edition by the U.S. Geological Survey details a sparsely populated agricultural region where the continuity of land use is reflected in named rural routes like Gove E and Co Rd 470.
