2010 Map of Irish Flats NE

About this map

Crooked Creek snakes through this high plains landscape in Meade County, defining the local drainage patterns long before the 2010 survey period. This part of Kansas is characterized by its strict section-line road network, where routes like 19 Rd and 21 Rd intersect with lateral paths such as V Rd and X Rd. The terrain is marked by subtle shifts in elevation around Sand Creek, illustrating the transition from agricultural tablelands to the shallow draws of the Cimarron River watershed. While sparse in named settlements, the map reveals the precise placement of ranch structures and irrigation patterns essential to the region's cattle and wheat economy during the early 21st century.
