About this map

Optima Rd and 9mi Rd define the rectilinear layout of this rural landscape in Stevens County. The area is characterized by the expansive section-line road network typical of the High Plains, where agricultural development and land management follow precise geometric boundaries. Scattered depressions and small intermittent water bodies appear across the terrain, reflecting the unique hydrography of the region before modern land-use changes. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the essential infrastructure and topography of the Kansas plains, including local transport routes such as 2nd St Rd. It serves as a clear record of the modern rural infrastructure and natural drainage patterns in the southwest corner of the state.
