2022 Map of Hoxie NW

About this map

Immanuel Cem serves as a primary local landmark in this part of Sheridan County, situated in a landscape defined by the drainage of Bow Creek and its southern branch, S Bow Cr. The map reveals a highly structured agricultural grid, where a network of section roads like RD 100 N and RD 70 N divide the prairie into uniform parcels. This pattern reflects the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in western Kansas, showing how rural development followed the rigid geometry of the township and range lines. The subtle relief of the terrain is primarily marked by the winding paths of the creek beds, which provided the only natural breaks in an otherwise strictly partitioned territory.
