2015 Map of Long Draw North

About this map

N Fork Sappa Cr and Middle Fork Sappa Cr carve their way through the high plains of Rawlins County, defining the drainage patterns of this rural Kansas landscape. The terrain is characterized by the prominent Long Draw, a topographical feature that cuts through the eastern sections of the quadrangle. This 2015 survey reveals a sparse, systematic grid of section lines and county roads, such as Co Rd 444 and Rd 27, which provide access across the rolling breaks and upland plateaus. The map documents the enduring Public Land Survey System divisions, including t4s r32w and t4s r33w, illustrating how the western Kansas prairie remains partitioned for agricultural and ranching use. With very few structures indicated, the focus remains on the natural hydrology and the persistent road network that connects these isolated stretches of the High Plains.
