2010 Map of Hugoton SE

About this map

Stevens County’s High Plains landscape is defined by a rigorous grid of agricultural access roads in this 2010 survey of the Hugoton area. The terrain is notably sparse, focused on the utility of the land rather than concentrated settlements. Major north-south arteries like Rd 12 and Rd 16 intersect with east-west routes such as Rd H and Rd F, forming a precise geometry typical of the American West's rural development. This network supports the region's agricultural and industrial infrastructure, with various unnamed depressions and basins scattered across the sections, suggesting the ephemeral water storage common in this semi-arid part of Kansas. The dominance of lettered and numbered routes like Rd J and Rd 17 reflects a landscape organized for high-efficiency transit between farmsteads and distant markets.
