2018 Map of Grinnell NE

About this map

The Saline River cuts through the western Kansas plains on this 2018 survey, reflecting a landscape defined by its vital watercourses and rigid section-line organization. While the town of Grinnell is situated at the southwestern edge, the map is dominated by the northern drainage of Spring Brook Cr and the topographical impression of Midway Draw to the northeast. This area sits along the dividing line of Gove and Sheridan counties, where the high plains begin to break into the subtle drainage basins of the Smoky Hill River system. The township and range divisions, such as t10s r29w, are traced by a series of rural routes including RD 130 S and RD 140 S, which follow the traditional grid of the Public Land Survey System. In the far south, the N Fork Big Cr meanders near the county border, marking the distinct watershed transitions characteristic of this part of the state.
