2015 Map of Leoti SW

About this map

The high plains of western Kansas are defined here by the sparse, ephemeral drainage of Sand Cr, which cuts a subtle path through the northern sections of the township. This 2015 survey illustrates a landscape dominated by the Public Land Survey System's rigid grid, where the boundaries of t19s r38w and t19s r37w meet in an area primarily shaped by large-scale agricultural divisions. The southern portion of the sheet captures the transition across the Wichita Co Kearny Co line, a boundary traced by Co Rd 1. This network of section-line roads, including Co Rd 5 and Co Rd 7, reveals the systematic organization of the High Plains, where the infrastructure is built almost entirely upon the original survey coordinates. This map serves as a precise record of land division and rural road networks in a region where geography is dictated by the surveyor's chain and the section corner.
