2010 Map of Missler

About this map

Missler sits in the heart of this Meade County landscape, where the high plains of Southwest Kansas are defined by a strictly surveyed section-line road system. The township-and-range grid is evident in the regular intervals of routes like Co Rd 11 and J Rd, which partition the agricultural landscape. Cutting through this geometric order is the natural drainage of Spring Creek, which meanders from the northwest toward the south, joined by the topographic depression of Hart Draw in the central-east. The primary transportation corridor, 160 54, bisects the southern portion of the quadrangle. This 2010 survey illustrates the persistence of small rural settlements and the enduring spatial patterns of Kansas ranching and dryland farming, where water sources like Spring Creek remain the primary irregular features against an otherwise disciplined landscape of rural roads.
