2015 Map of Modoc SE

About this map

White Woman Cr meanders across this High Plains landscape where the borders of Finney, Scott, and Kearny counties meet. The terrain is defined by a rhythmic grid of agricultural section lines and rural routes such as W Finney Scott Rd and W Friend Rd. These roads provide the primary structure for the region's ranching and farming operations, following the Public Land Survey System divisions of Township 19 South through Township 21 South. Aside from the prominent drainage of the creek, the map shows smaller intermittent water features like Sand Cr and Rocky Draw. This 2015 survey illustrates a contemporary view of Western Kansas, where the permanence of the cadastral grid contrasts with the seasonal nature of the local waterways.
