2012 Map of Mattox Draw SE

About this map

Mattox Draw defines the drainage pattern of this Kearny County landscape, winding through a highly structured grid of section-line roads. The territory is characterized by its organized agricultural layout, with a sequence of north-south arteries including Co Road K, Co Road L, and Co ROAD M. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey reflects a region of High Plains farming where the primary transportation network follows rigid county road designations such as Co Rd-11 and Co Hwy-13. For those studying land use and local geography in western Kansas, the map illustrates the precise intersection of natural watercourses like the draw with the human-imposed geometric order of the rural road system.
