About this map

Mount Jesus and Mt Lookout stand as prominent landmarks in this southwestern Kansas landscape, overlooking a complex drainage system within Clark County. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Bluff Cr and its numerous tributaries, including Hackberry Cr, Fish Cr, and Cat Cr. This network of waterways suggests a territory shaped by seasonal flow and erosion, where the high points served as vital navigational markers for early travelers and residents.

A sparse network of rural roads, including CR 24 and CR M, follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, reflecting the organized agricultural settlement of the High Plains. The map details the intersections of these county routes as they navigate the breaks around Granger Cr and Day Cr, providing a clear record of the rural infrastructure and land divisions in the early twenty-first century.
