About this map

North of Pierceville, Kansas, the landscape is defined by the rigid geometry of high-plains agriculture and its supporting road network. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey shows a sparse but organized territory where family-named thoroughfares such as Linville Rd and E Martin Rd divide the open country. The orientation of the map reveals the cultural and community foundations of this part of Finney County, most notably through N Mennonite Rd and N Little Mennonite Rd, which point to the area's local heritage and settlement patterns.

Surface water is limited to scattered depressions and catchment basins, while the transportation system relies on a grid of numbered and lettered county routes like Road AA and N Co Rd 21. This sheet provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure in southwestern Kansas during the early 21st century, showing how modern land management follows the historical township and range system established over a century prior.
