About this map

Sawmill Creek meanders across this rural Pawnee County landscape, defining the local drainage patterns within this section of the Kansas plains. The terrain is characterized by a sparse network of section-line roads, notably Co Rd 6 and Co Rd 7, which provide the primary access to the expansive agricultural fields. This 2009 USGS survey illustrates the late-twentieth-century development of the region's rural infrastructure, where the natural course of the creek contrasts with the rigid geometry of the county's transportation grid.
