About this map

The James River cuts across the northeastern corner of this landscape, anchoring a complex hydrologic network in the drift prairie. Meandering watercourses and intermittent basins define the local geography, with Kelly Cr and Rocky Run draining toward the river system. Large wetland features, including Schwoebel Slough in the north and Scotts Slough further south, are characteristic of this region's glacial legacy. The map captures a strictly agricultural grid where North-South avenues and East-West streets intersect at precise mile intervals. This survey preserves the exact boundary line between Eddy Co and Foster Co, showing how political divisions align with the section lines of the rural road network. Modern infrastructure is represented by the north-south corridor of Us-281, which provides the primary transit artery through this sparsely populated section of the Great Plains.
