2012 Map of Harris Draw East

About this map

The N Fork Smoky Hill River carves through the northern reaches of this high plains landscape, defining the local drainage system in Wallace County. The terrain is characterized by a series of significant drainage basins and draws that feed toward the river and Lake Cr, including Harris Draw, Gardner Draw, Bradshaw Draw, and Hudkins Draw. These named features suggest a long history of ranching and land use where specific topographical depressions provided essential seasonal water or landmarks for early settlers. The modern infrastructure is reflected in a grid of section roads such as Road WA-BB and Road WA-N26, which cut across the natural hydrology, illustrating the intersection of traditional western water rights and the formal Public Land Survey System.
