About this map

Pawnee River defines the northern reaches of this rural Kansas landscape, where the high plains terrain is carved by intermittent drainage systems. The hydrology is dominated by the winding course of the river and its southern tributaries, including Cottonwood Cr and Dry Cr. This area of Hodgeman County is organized by a strict cardinal grid of rural roads, such as 218 RD and S RD, which delineate the Public Land Survey System sections. These survey lines, including boundaries for t21s r24w and t22s r23w, reflect the late 19th-century settlement patterns that divided the shortgrass prairie into agricultural parcels. The map provides a clear view of the topographic contours and watercourses that have dictated land use in this sparsely populated region for generations.
