2022 Map of Midway Draw West

About this map

The Saline River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, carving a distinct path through the plains of western Kansas. This survey reveals a highly organized township and range system, where the terrain is segmented into precise sections defined by the border between Sheridan and Gove counties. The drainage patterns are dominated by the eponymous Midway Draw in the northeast and Spring Brook Cr to the west, illustrating how seasonal water flow has shaped the local topography. This map documents a sparsely populated agricultural environment in the early 21st century, where human presence is primarily marked by a rigid grid of rural roads such as Rd 160 S and Rd 80 S. This infrastructure reflects a long-standing commitment to land management and transportation across the vast interior of the High Plains.
