2018 Map of Indian Creek

About this map

Indian Cr and Owl Cr carve a complex drainage pattern through this section of the High Plains, where the terrain transitions toward the Red Hills. This landscape is defined by its deep dissection, where seasonal watercourses have etched intricate contours into the prairie, a characteristic feature of the Comanche County and Barber County border. The map illustrates a highly organized grid of range and township lines, including t32s r16w and t33s r15w, which dictate the sparse network of rural routes like RD 25 and Ave N. This rectilinear human imprint contrasts sharply with the wandering paths of Mule Cr and Wildcat Cr. While largely devoid of concentrated settlements, the area remains a classic example of the expansive ranching and agricultural territory typical of south-central Kansas.
