2012 Map of Harrison Flats

About this map

Harrison Flats occupies the open landscape of Wallace County in this 2012 USGS survey, where the high plains of western Kansas are defined by a strictly organized section-line road network. The terrain is largely level until it reaches the more complex topography of Wallace Bluffs, where the ground breaks toward the drainage of Coon Cr. This map documents a modern snapshot of rural agriculture, tracing the straight-line paths of Road WA S-26 and Road WA E-G as they intersect the quiet settlement of Harrison Flats. The sparse placement of structures and the dominance of the survey grid reflect the enduring character of the high plains, providing a precise record of land use and transportation routes at the start of the 2010s.
