About this map

Brownville anchors this High Plains landscape, a remote settlement in Thomas County where the local social geography is centered around the Brownville Cemetery. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of two significant drainage systems, with the South Fork Solomon River cutting across the northern reaches and the South Fork Saline River meandering through the central and southern portions of the quadrangle. This 2012 survey illustrates the classic section-line road grid typical of the Kansas prairie, with a network of designated routes such as County Road A through County Road H facilitating movement across the vast agricultural blocks. The presence of several small water catchments and the braided patterns of the dry creek beds suggest the seasonal nature of water in this semi-arid region.
