2022 Map of Mouth of Shaw Creek

About this map

The Saline River cuts through the northern reaches of this Trego County landscape, carving a winding path across the high plains of western Kansas. This rural area is defined by a systematic grid of section roads, including B RD and H RD, which facilitate movement across the dissected terrain. The drainage network is particularly detailed, showing the convergence of intermittent waterways such as Shaw Cr and E Spring Cr as they move toward the larger river valley. Surveyed in the modern era, the map provides a precise look at the Public Land Survey System divisions, clearly marking the boundaries of t11s r22w and t12s r21w. This topography reveals the intricate erosion patterns of the Kansas plains, where small tributaries like Spring Cr create a complex series of draws and ridges between the established agricultural blocks.
