2015 Map of Harris Draw West

About this map

The high plains of Wallace County are defined here by a network of drainage systems feeding into Lake Cr and its tributaries, including N Fork Lake Cr and S Fork Lake Cr. This landscape is deeply carved by named draws and canyons that reveal the names of the families who settled this part of western Kansas. Features like Armstrong Draw, Ruggles Draw, and Depperschmidt Draw anchor the geography to local history, while Blindman Canyon and Wildcat Canyon hint at the area's natural landmarks. In a region where water is a vital resource, Big Spring and Pond Cr stand out as critical points on the map. The local infrastructure is represented by a grid of rural routes such as Deer Draw Rd, Zigzag Rd, and Blue Bird Rd, showing how modern transport follows the historic township and range lines of the American West.
