About this map

The Saline River cuts through the western Kansas plains on this 2015 survey, revealing a landscape defined by its watercourses and a rigid grid of rural roads. While the primary settlement of Grinnell lies at the southwestern edge of the sheet, the surrounding terrain is dominated by the drainage patterns of Spring Brook Cr and the Midway Draw. These geological features dictate the layout of the local infrastructure, including a series of east-west thoroughfares such as RD 130 S and Rd 140 S that traverse the township boundaries.

The transition from the Sheridan Co Gove Co line in the south toward the northern townships highlights the importance of the river valley to the regional topography. To the south, the N Fork Big Cr emerges near the county border, marking another critical drainage point in this agricultural corridor. This map captures the precise section and range divisions that have organized the High Plains for generations, providing an essential record for those tracing land ownership and environmental change in Gove and Sheridan counties.
