2018 Map of Mount Helen

About this map

Mt Helen stands as a prominent landmark in this borderland where the High Plains of Kansas meet the Oklahoma Panhandle. This 2018 survey documents a landscape defined by its drainage systems and the rigid geometry of the Public Land Survey System. The state line between Kansas and Oklahoma bisects the terrain, marked by a shift in road designations and section numbering. Water is a critical element of the local geography, with Fivemile Cr, Twomile Cr, and Big Sandy Cr cutting across the plains, while the Wells Reservoir indicates managed water resources in this semi-arid environment. The road network, including CR GG and Aa RD, follows the section lines, highlighting the agricultural and ranching layout that spans Meade, Clark, and Beaver counties.
