2012 Map of Lakin SE

About this map

Bear Cr carves a subtle path through this landscape south of the Arkansas River valley, serving as the primary natural drainage in an area defined by long-distance transit and rural section lines. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the modern infrastructure of the High Plains, where the diagonal corridor of K-25 cuts across the established township and range grid. Local movement is facilitated by a network of named routes including Lakin Ln, Co Rd-34, and Co Rd-35, which connect the outlying farmsteads and agricultural plots of south-central Kearny County. The map reflects a contemporary era of precise land management, showing the intersection of natural waterways and the rigid geometry of western Kansas roads.
