About this map

The Smoky Hill River winds through the southern reaches of this High Plains landscape, where the confluence of several seasonal and perennial waterways dictates the local geography. Significant drainage features like Turkey Cr, Lake Cr, and the specifically named Depperschmidt Draw carve through the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic patterns of Wallace and Logan Counties. The map reveals a strictly organized grid of rural corridors, with named tracks such as Pebble Rd, Outpost Rd, and Rawhide serving as the primary infrastructure for this ranching and agricultural region.

Evidence of the Public Land Survey System is prominent, as the map is divided by township lines including t12s r38w and t13s r37w. The boundary between Wallace and Logan counties runs vertically through the western portion, intersecting with local landmarks like Plains and Quail. This survey documents a quiet, open landscape where the names of small roads and creek beds are the primary indicators of human presence and history.
