Great Bend sits at the southern edge of this Barton County landscape, where the residential street grid gives way to the expansive agricultural sections of central Kansas. The confluence of several local waterways, including Walnut Cr and Dry Walnut Cr, shapes the drainage patterns south of the small settlement of Kanbrick. The map reveals a distinct arrangement of local history and commemorative sites, from the rural Walnut Valley Cem in the northwest to the more modern Hillcrest Memorial Park and Golden Belt Memorial Park situated north of the city. This 2022 survey documents the persistent grid of rural roads like Button Rd and NW 90 Rd that define the wheat and sorghum country surrounding the Barton Lake area.
