2018 Map of McCracken NE

About this map

Snake Cr meanders through this portion of the High Plains where the borders of Ellis, Ness, Trego, and Rush counties converge. This 2018 survey documents a strictly ordered landscape of section lines and gravel roads that define the rural character of the region. The map reveals the precise intersection of several county boundaries, including the Trego Co Ellis Co and Ellis Co Rush Co lines, reflecting the grid-based development of Kansas agriculture. Named thoroughfares like Chetolah Gold Rd and S Co Line Rd provide the primary framework for local travel between family farmsteads. The terrain is marked by gentle undulations and seasonal drainage patterns typical of the western Kansas landscape, where water features like Snake Cr are central to the geography of the local townships.
