About this map

The High Plains of Western Kansas intersect at a rare geographical four-county corner on this map, where Sherman, Thomas, Logan, and Wallace counties meet. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage patterns of the N Fork Smoky Hill River and the S Fork Solomon River, with the smaller Sand Cr winding through the central township sections. This area reflects the late-period agricultural and ranching layout of the region, anchored by the remote Lava Cem and the named locality of Fort Fox in the southern portion of the sheet. The surveyed grid of county roads, including Co RD 57 and Co RD 37, provides the primary structural framework for this sparsely settled prairie expanse, illustrating the persistent 19th-century township-and-range system into the modern era.
