2009 Map of Midway Draw East

About this map

The Saline River and its tributary, the North Fork Saline River, define the hydrology of this High Plains landscape in central Gove County. The terrain is marked by a series of significant drainage features including Midway Draw, Leeds Draw, and Turner Draw, which illustrate the complex erosion patterns typical of the region's semi-arid geography. While much of the land remains open, human activity is anchored by aviation at Ashbaugh Airport and localized infrastructure along Gove EE. Further south, the meandering path of Gove Creek and the southern reach of the Saline River near Cow Draw provide a detailed look at the water-carved valleys that break the otherwise steady prairie topography. This survey captures a moment in the early 21st century when rural transportation was defined by established section lines and specialized airfield facilities.
