2010 Map of Middle Ladder Creek West

About this map

South Ladder Creek and Middle Ladder Creek define the geography of this Western Kansas landscape, carving distinct drainage patterns across the high plains of Greeley County. This corner of Tribune Township is characterized by a precise grid of rural thoroughfares, including named routes such as Thirteen Mile Rd and Co Rd F, which reflect the late twentieth-century transportation network in this agricultural region. The inclusion of Walter Airport provides a specific point of interest for local history, marking the infrastructure supporting the area's light aviation and farming operations. The terrain is marked by ephemeral water bodies and the subtle elevation changes of the South Fork drainage, illustrating the hydraulic character of the High Plains before the widespread modern shifts in groundwater and land use.
