2012 Map of Mattox Draw NW

About this map

Mattox Draw defines the drainage patterns of this high plains landscape in Kearny County, where the terrain is marked by a rigorous section-line road grid. The map reveals the quiet, rural character of the region, centered on agricultural connectivity through routes like Co Road E and Co Road 8. Historical researchers and genealogists will find the Fairview Cem located near the northern boundary along Co Road 2, a significant marker of early settlement and community in this part of western Kansas. The sparse distribution of named features emphasize the isolation and open character of the land, where the intermittent waters of the draw and a few isolated stock ponds provide the only break in the geometric regularity of the county roads.
