2009 Map of Indian Creek

About this map

Indian Creek and its neighboring drainage systems define this section of Comanche County, where the landscape is marked by a network of intermittent stream beds and rural road sections. The topography is shaped by the southward-flowing Mule Creek in the northeast and the winding path of Owl Creek through the center of the quadrangle. This 2009 survey illustrates a deeply rural part of Kansas, where natural waterways like Dog Creek dictate the layout of the local transport infrastructure. The map reveals the characteristic settlement patterns of the Great Plains, where long stretches of road connect isolated points of interest along the creek valleys.
