About this map

Kiowa serves as the focal point of this Eastern Plains landscape, where the town's civic life is captured through the presence of the County Fairground, an Athletic Field, and a local Park. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, with Kiowa Creek and Comanche Creek carving paths through the high prairie. The 1994 revisions, noted in purple, highlight modern developments like the Mobile Home Park on the edge of the primary settlement.

Transportation and utility infrastructure are prominent throughout the quadrangle, including a remote Landing Strip in the southern section and several Radio Tower installations. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure appears in the form of a Gravel Pit and a Sewage Disposal site, while the small settlement of Conway sits along the road heading east. The map illustrates the transition from a traditional ranching landscape to one accommodating late 20th-century municipal needs.
