2010 Map of Mattox Draw SW

About this map

Kearny County, Kansas, reveals a rigid agricultural grid in this early 21st-century survey of the Mattox Draw SW area. The landscape is defined by the Public Land Survey System, where north-south thoroughfares like Co Rd G and Co Rd H intersect with east-west routes such as Co Rd 14 and Co Rd 16. This highly organized road network reflects the precision of modern prairie land management and the enduring significance of county-maintained infrastructure in Western Kansas. Sparse drainage patterns suggest a dry, upland environment typical of the High Plains, where human settlement and transportation follow the logical geometry of section lines. The map captures a moment when traditional rural transit remains the primary footprint on the land, stretching toward the horizon with near-mathematical regularity through routes like Co Rd J and Co Rd 13.
