About this map

The High Plains landscape of Kearny County is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and gravel roads, including Co Rd 11 and Co Rd 19. This 2018 survey reveals the persistent agricultural geometry of western Kansas, where the township and range system dictates the placement of every thoroughfare. The terrain is marked by subtle depressions and ephemeral drainage patterns typical of the region, captured in this USGS study. Notable north-south arteries like Co Rd D, Co Rd F, and Co Rd J bisect the open country, providing access to vast tracts of land organized under designations such as t23s r38w. The absence of named settlements highlights the area's rural character and its reliance on this extensive network of county roads for connectivity.
