2022 Map of Meade NE

About this map

Artesian Valley defines the southern portion of this landscape, a region historically notable for its groundwater resources. The terrain is bisected by the meandering course of Crooked Cr, which creates a winding natural corridor through the structured sections of the High Plains. This 2022 survey captures the intersection of Gray Co and Meade Co, revealing a strictly gridded agricultural landscape defined by a network of rural routes including J J Rd, Kk Rd, and G Rd. The map illustrates the enduring township and range system, showing how survey lines continue to dictate the placement of farmsteads and transport paths in this part of Kansas. Modern land use remains tied to these traditional boundaries, with irrigation patterns and drainage following the subtle contours of the valley floor.
