2018 Map of Norton NW

About this map

The northwest corner of Norton County reveals a landscape shaped by a complex network of intermittent drainages and section-line roads. High plains terrain is defined by the winding course of Sappa Cr in the northern reaches, while other seasonal waterways like Spring Cr and Deer Cr carve through the prairie. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) grid, showing the boundaries for t1s r24w, t1s r23w, t2s r24w, and t2s r23w. This intersection of topography and geometry illustrates the persistent agricultural layout of Northwest Kansas, where established routes like Road E and RD G provide access to the drainage basins of Robinson Cr and Jones Cr. Local researchers can trace the exact land partitions and drainage patterns that have dictated ranching and farming boundaries for generations.
