2012 Map of Grinnell NE

About this map

The Saline River and its accompanying drainage systems define this landscape in the western Kansas plains. Meandering through the central and southern portions of the quadrangle, the river is supported by smaller tributaries like Spring Brook Cr, which cuts diagonally across the northern half. This area, located northeast of Grinnell, showcases the typical grid-based development of the region, where rural life is organized along established thoroughfares such as Road 80W and Road 90S. In the extreme southern reach of the map, the headwaters of N Fork Big Cr appear, marking a subtle divide in the local hydrology. This topographic study reflects the persistent rural character and agricultural layout of Gove County in the early 21st century.
