About this map

The Arkansas River and its accompanying irrigation infrastructure define this landscape in western Kansas. The Amazon Ditch and Southside Ditch are prominent features, reflecting the critical role of water management in the region's agricultural development. The settlement of Hartland sits on the northern bank of the river in the southwestern corner of the quadrangle, with the nearby Hartland Cem serving as a primary point of interest for genealogists.

Further east, the town of Lakin is depicted with its residential street grid, including W Santa Fe Trail Blvd and Railroad Ave, tracing the historical path of westward expansion. Local infrastructure is well-represented by the Kearny County Fairgrounds and the Lakin Airport. The terrain is characterized by the seasonal Sand Cr and the presence of Clear Lake, illustrating the drainage patterns that have shaped Kearny County's land use.
