2010 Map of Liberal NW

About this map

The Cimarron River winds through the northeast corner of this high plains landscape in Seward County, providing a stark geographic contrast to the rigid section-line grid that dominates the rest of the terrain. This 2010 survey illustrates the organized rural infrastructure of southwest Kansas, defined by long straight-aways such as 9 Mile Rd and Farmer Rd. The map documents a transition from purely agricultural layouts to rural residential developments, evidenced by named thoroughfares like Country Estates Rd and Bird Rd. Researchers focusing on land use and ownership in the early 21st century can trace the intersection of regional commerce and local transit via the north-south corridors of Co Rd H and Ben Jerman Rd.
