About this map

Smoky Hill R and the Fk Smoky Hill R define the northern drainage of this High Plains landscape in western Kansas. The terrain is characterized by a series of significant erosional features including Gardner Draw, Harris Draw, and Bradshaw Draw, which channel seasonal runoff toward Lake Creek. This topography reflects the hydrological patterns of Wallace County during the late 1970s, where land use was primarily focused on resource extraction and cattle ranching. Evidence of local industry appears in the form of multiple Marl Pits and a solitary Marl Pit in the northeast, alongside various scattered wells that indicate the vital importance of groundwater in this arid environment. The map provides a precise record of the land surface before contemporary agricultural or industrial shifts altered the traditional drainage ways like Hudkins Draw and Depperschmidt Draw.
