About this map

The S Fork Republican River crosses the northern reaches of this Cheyenne County landscape, defining the local drainage patterns for a series of deeply etched canyons. This high plains terrain is characterized by its prominent natural landmarks, including Henkle Canyon and Sleepy Canyon, which draw from the surrounding plateaus. The sectional grid is clearly defined by a network of rural roads such as Co RD DD and Co RD 27, marking the agricultural divisions typical of Western Kansas.

To the south and east, the topography becomes more complex with the presence of Devils Canyon, Wolfe Canyon, and Sawyer Canyon. These features, along with Big Timber Cr, illustrate the erosional history of the Republican River basin. The map provides a detailed view of the land partitions under the Public Land Survey System, specifically within townships t1s r38w and t2s r38w, which is invaluable for those tracing property boundaries or regional family history.
