About this map

Harrison Flats occupies the open plains of western Kansas, where a systematic grid of county roads defines the agricultural landscape of Wallace County. The terrain is marked by significant geographic transitions, particularly where the plateau breaks away into the Wallace Bluffs and the etched drainage of Homestead Canyon to the north. These topographical features provide a sharp contrast to the level fields that dominate the southern half of the quadrangle.

Water management and rural navigation are central to this 2018 survey, which documents intermittent watercourses like Coon Cr. The local road network, including uniquely named thoroughfares such as Ironhorse Rd, Jackrabbit Rd, and Muddy Rd, reflects the functional infrastructure of the high plains. Researchers can trace the section lines and township boundaries—such as t14s r39w—that have governed land use in this part of the state for over a century.
