About this map

Kearny Co and Grant Co meet along a perfectly straight border in this 2018 survey of Sherman Township. The landscape is defined by the rigid Jeffersonian grid of the Public Land Survey System, where modern infrastructure follows township lines such as t26s r36w and t27s r35w. This section of the High Plains illustrates the intersection of large-scale agriculture and a meticulously planned transportation network, where naming conventions for arterial routes like N Rd S and Co Rd 4 reflect the county-wide coordinate system.

While the terrain remains relatively uniform, the map details the subtle natural depressions and wetlands that punctuate the agricultural blocks. Local connectivity is maintained through named tracks like Deerfield Ln and Co Line Rd, which serve as the primary conduits between rural farmsteads and larger regional hubs. The survey provides a clear view of the rural settlement patterns of Western Kansas in the early twenty-first century.
