2019 Map of Mount Sunflower NE

About this map

The N Fork Smoky Hill River carves a winding path across the southern reaches of this landscape, marking a significant hydrologic transition along the border where High Plains terrain meets the state line. This 2019 survey captures the convergence of Sherman Co and Wallace Co in Kansas, as they meet the Colorado-Kansas boundary at Kit Carson Co. The area is defined by a rhythmic series of eastward-flowing watercourses, including the headwaters of Sappa Cr, S Beaver Cr, and Sandy Cr. These intermittent streams dictate the rural road grid, where routes like Co RD R and Co RD G navigate the subtle drainage divides. The map provides a detailed view of the sectional divisions within t9s r42w and t10s r42w, illustrating the geometric precision of local land management in this tri-county border region.
