2010 Map of Lakin SE

About this map

Bear Creek meanders through this portion of Kearny County, marking the transition between the high plains and the managed water systems that define modern Kansas agriculture. The landscape is structured by a grid of rural infrastructure, where State Hwy 25 cuts diagonally across the terrain, intersecting local routes like Co Rd 35 and Lakin Ln. This 2010 survey highlights the region's reliance on irrigation and water management, notably shown by the presence of the Southside Ditch in the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The map reveals a sparsely populated area where the placement of roads and water canals dictates the pattern of land use and property boundaries in this Western Kansas prairie.
