2012 Map of Hoxie NE

About this map

Sheridan County's high plains landscape is defined by the winding drainages of the Bow Cr and its tributaries, which carve a branching network across the North Central Kansas prairie. This 2012 topographic study illustrates the rural infrastructure of the region, where a rectilinear grid of county roads, including Co RD 503 and Co RD 380, facilitates agricultural access across the undulating terrain. A significant site for local family history is the Bow Creek Cem, situated near the confluence of S Bow Cr and the main branch of the creek. The map details the drainage patterns of seasonal waterways like Holly Cr and Cortez Cr, revealing the subtle elevation changes that dictate the flow of water and the placement of rural homesteads in this part of the state.
