2012 Map of Oberlin SW

About this map

The rolling plains of Rawlins County are defined here by a series of intermittent watercourses that drain the northwestern Kansas landscape. N Fork Sappa Cr meanders across the lower half of the quadrangle, joined by smaller drainage systems such as Johnson Draw and Lambs Draw. This 2012 survey illustrates a sparsely populated agricultural region, where a precise grid of rural roads, including Co HWY-459, organizes the territory into large parcels. For those tracing local heritage, Saint Johns Cem serves as a lone, significant landmark in the northern portion of the sheet. The layout reflects the enduring rural character of the Great Plains, where transportation is centered on corridors like US Highway 36, which cuts through the central portion of the map, providing a primary link between the surrounding farming communities and regional hubs.
