2018 Map of Meade NW

About this map

Crooked Cr meanders across this rural landscape, carving a drainage pattern through the High Plains along the border of Gray Co and Meade Co. The map documents a sparse, strictly organized section of Kansas where the Public Land Survey System defines every boundary and road. A network of section-line roads, including JJ Rd, KK Rd, and G Rd, provides the primary structure for this agricultural area, reflecting the enduring grid of the American West. The terrain is marked by subtle elevation changes and seasonal wetlands, typical of the region's cattle and wheat country, where water sources like Crooked Cr have historically dictated land use and settlement patterns away from established town sites.
