2018 Map of Mattox Draw SE

About this map

Mattox Draw defines the drainage of this portion of Kearny County, cutting a shallow path through the high plains landscape. The area is organized by the Public Land Survey System, as shown by the rigid grid of county roads that segment the land into sections within t22s r37w, t23s r36w, and surrounding townships. This 2018 survey illustrates a highly structured agricultural or range environment where human activity is dictated by the section lines. Transportation is facilitated by a network of local routes including Co Rd 11, Co Rd 13, and Co Rd 17, which provide access across the open terrain. The lack of concentrated settlements or named towns emphasizes the rural, industrial nature of the region, where land use is likely focused on large-scale ranching or dryland farming operations characteristic of western Kansas.
