About this map

Montezuma sits at the center of this 2012 survey, anchored by its grid of residential and commercial streets such as W Cortez St and S Aztec St. The town's agricultural and logistical importance is underscored by the Montezuma Coop Airport and a central Po located just off of Highway 56. This corridor provides a vital link across the High Plains of Gray County, connecting local commerce with the surrounding farm tracts defined by a rigid section-line road system.

Outside the town center, the landscape is defined by the winding course of Crooked Cr in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Along its banks, the Evans Cem provides a point of genealogical interest for those tracing family roots in the region. The map also features the Riverside Airport, illustrating the reliance on aviation for transport and crop management across the wide, open stretches of western Kansas.
