About this map

Howard serves as the central hub of this Kansas landscape, situated where the Elk River winds through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The town's layout is clearly defined by local thoroughfares such as N Pine St and E Michigan St, anchoring important community landmarks like the Elk County Fairgrounds and the Howard Cemetery. This region reflects a blend of agricultural activity and resource extraction, evidenced by the Dunkleberger Oil Field located north of the primary settlement.

Waterways dictate the topography, with numerous tributaries including Mound Branch, Rock Creek, and North Fork Wildcat Creek carving through the countryside. To the south, the Elk County Airport stands near a reservoir on the North Fork, illustrating the infrastructure supporting this rural county seat. The grid of section roads, from Killdeer Rd to Watson Rd, provides a precise record of land division and property access in Elk County during the early 21st century.
