2012 Map of Leoti NW

About this map

White Woman Cr meanders across this rural section of Wichita County, defining the drainage patterns in a landscape marked by the precise geometry of the Public Land Survey System. The watercourse cuts through the High Plains terrain, creating one of the few natural breaks in an otherwise strictly partitioned agricultural environment. Transport in the region is anchored by the north-south alignment of Co Rd 8, which serves as a primary artery for the scattered farmsteads and field access points that characterize this part of western Kansas. The map illustrates a contemporary moment in the area's long history of dryland farming and cattle ranching, showing how modern infrastructure continues to follow the section lines established over a century ago.
