About this map

S Fork Driftwood Cr meanders across the northwestern corner of this High Plains landscape, characterizing the drainage patterns of northern Rawlins County. This modern survey illustrates a sparsely populated agricultural region defined by a precise section-line road network, including arterial routes like Co Rd-314 and Co Rd-439. Family and local history is anchored by small rural burial grounds such as Trinity Cem in the central portion of the sheet and Hamper Cem near the southeastern corner. In the south, the terrain descends toward the valley of Beaver Cr, where the interplay of intermittent stream beds and cultivated fields reveals the local reliance on the limited water resources of this Kansas prairie.
