2018 Map of Hackberry Creek

About this map

Eldred serves as the primary landmark in this rural Barber County landscape, positioned at the intersection of several significant local arteries. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, most notably the Salt Fork Arkansas River which carves through the southwestern corner. Feeding into the larger hydrologic system are Big Sandy Cr, Hackberry Cr, and Driftwood Cr, which together create a rugged drainage pattern across the plains. This 2018 survey illustrates how modern road networks like Sandy Creek Rd and Prairie Dog Rd follow the natural topography, reflecting a long history of land use in south-central Kansas. The township and range boundaries, including t34s r14w, show the persistent influence of the Public Land Survey System on the development of this agricultural region.
