2018 Map of Horse Thief Canyon NE

About this map

The Pawnee River meanders across the northern half of this central Kansas landscape, carving a low valley through the agricultural plains of Hodgeman County. This 2018 survey shows a rural infrastructure defined by a rigid section-line grid, where roads like X Rd and S Rd facilitate movement across the open prairie. Seasonal drainage is provided by smaller watercourses such as Plum Cr in the north and Cottonwood Cr in the southeast, which cut modest breaks into the terrain. The map captures the enduring Public Land Survey System layout, with township boundaries like t21s r25w clearly dividing the vast acreage. This is a landscape of scale and efficiency, where the placement of thoroughfares like NW 212 Rd and Q Rd reflects a century of land management and rural connectivity.
