2015 Map of North of Sand Creek

About this map

Mattox Draw meanders through this section of the High Plains, carving a distinct drainage pattern across the landscape of Hamilton County. The terrain is defined by a rigid grid of rural corridors, including Rd P, Rd Q, and Rd S, which mark the systematic division of agricultural land. These roads follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating the historical layout of western Kansas townships. Small depression wetlands and intermittent water features dot the plains between Rd 4 and Rd 7, indicating the subtle topography of the region. This 2015 survey provides a clear look at the intersection of natural drainage and modern infrastructure in a sparsely populated ranching and farming environment.
