About this map

The agricultural landscape of Western Kansas is defined here by the intersection of Finney, Hodgeman, and Gray counties. The terrain is structured by the Public Land Survey System, with sectional roads like Hodgeman Co Line Rd and N Woods Rd following a strict grid across the prairie. The most significant drainage is Sand Cr, which carves narrow, meandering paths through the townships of t22s r26w and t23s r26w. In the southeast corner, the headwaters of Buckner Creek appear, cutting through the section lines. This area represents a classic example of High Plains geography, where water sources like Sand Creek dictate the local topography amidst a vast network of rural routes, including E Oyler Rd and G Rd.
