2009 Map of North of Satanta

About this map

Haskell Cemetery sits as a lonely landmark within the strictly gridded agricultural landscape of Haskell County. The terrain is defined by an uncompromising network of section-line roads, such as Co Rd 90 and Co Rd 170, which partition the High Plains into a repetitive pattern of vast fields. This 2009 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey reflects the industrialized nature of modern Kansas farming, where the occasional homestead or farm building is the only break in the geometric regularity. Vertical road arteries like Co Rd Hh, Co Rd Ii, and Co RD LL facilitate the movement of equipment across this production-focused landscape. The relative lack of natural water features or varied topography underscores the human-engineered transformation of the prairie into a highly efficient agricultural grid.
