About this map

Mt Jesus and Mt Lookout define the high points of this western Kansas landscape, providing a clear view of the complex drainage systems that carve through Clark County. The terrain is characterized by the confluence of several vital watercourses, including the prominent Bluff Cr and its tributaries such as Fish Cr and Hackberry Cr. These streams create a network of draws and valleys that have long shaped the ranching and agricultural potential of the region.

A sparse but critical road network, including CR 20 and CR M, follows the section lines typical of the Great Plains, illustrating the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System. These routes connect isolated homesteads and grazing lands across the townships of t31s r22w and t32s r22w. This 2022 survey captures the area's transition between elevated plateaus and the deep creek beds of Granger Cr and Day Cr, showcasing the fundamental hydrology that sustains this part of the state.
