2012 Map of Meade NE

About this map

Crooked Cr snakes through this rural expanse of Gray County, providing the primary topographic relief in an area defined by systematic agricultural partitioning. The landscape is organized by a precise grid of rural routes, including J J Rd, A Rd, and Kk Rd, which reflect the long-standing Section Land Survey system. This 2012 survey illustrates the persistence of large-scale farming and grazing patterns, where water access from the creek remains a vital geographical factor. The map shows how transportation networks, such as B Rd and C Rd, have been established to serve remote farmsteads and facilitate the movement of goods across the High Plains. While few named settlements appear, the presence of various structures along routes like D Rd and E Rd points to the continued occupation and management of the Kansas prairie.
