About this map

The Burntwood township region in northwest Kansas is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of the Burntwood Creek system. Branching into the West Fork Burntwood Creek and East Fork Burntwood Creek, the terrain transitions from dissected uplands to the flatter agricultural plains near Plainview. This late-1970s survey captures the intersection of traditional High Plains ranching with modern utility, marked by the presence of the Harper Landing Strip and Frisbie Landing Strip. Local history is anchored at the Mayflower Cem, while the landscape shows evidence of extractive industry through scattered Oil Wells and a Gravel Pit. The map also traces the jurisdictional borders between Rawlins, Dundy, and Hitchcock counties along the Nebraska and Kansas state line.
