2015 Map of Johnson NW

About this map

Little Bear Cr meanders across this High Plains landscape, cutting through the section lines of the Public Land Survey System northwest of Johnson City. The 2015 topography reveals a landscape dominated by agriculture and systematic land division along the Hamilton Co and Stanton Co border. A rigid grid of rural corridors, including Road E, N Rd W, and N Rd V, facilitates access across the townships. Of particular interest to transportation historians is the N Manter Grade on the eastern edge of the sheet, indicating the localized infrastructure that supports the region's agricultural economy. This map provides a clear record of modern land use, showing the distribution of farmsteads and water sources in a sparsely populated section of Southwest Kansas.
