2009 Map of Midway Draw West

About this map

The Saline River cuts through this portion of western Kansas, defining the hydrologic character of the landscape in Gove County. This 2009 survey illustrates a predominantly rural and open terrain, where local travel is facilitated by a grid of county roads such as Gove 46, Gove 52, and the southern boundary road Gove EE. The drainage patterns are clearly marked by several tributaries, including the namesake Midway and Draw features in the north, while Spring Brook Creek feeds into the river from the west. The map reflects the enduring agricultural layout of the High Plains, showing how the section-line road system navigates around the natural meandering of the river valley.
