2018 Map of Great Bend NE

About this map

Great Bend and its northern outskirts are the focus of this 2018 survey, where the prairie landscape is defined by the winding paths of Walnut Cr and Dry Walnut Cr. The map details the transition from the city's residential streets—including Paseo Dr and Garmont Ave—into a structured agricultural grid. Significant local landmarks such as Hillcrest Memorial Park and Golden Belt Memorial Park sit near the city limits, while further north, the rural character is punctuated by the small settlement of Kanbrick. The hydrology of the region is well-represented by the course of Blood Cr and the presence of Barton Lake, reflecting a landscape managed for both drainage and recreation. This topographic study serves as a clear record of the modern intersection between Kansas river bottomlands and the expanding footprint of Barton County's seat.
