About this map

Coon Creek meanders through the central and southern portions of this Ford County landscape, defining the local hydrology of the High Plains. The map reveals a strictly regulated section-line road network typical of Kansas agricultural development, where routes like Kettle Rd and Garnett Rd partition the terrain into precise grids. This 2009 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures a sparsely populated region characterized by industrial-scale farming and occasional family-named or descriptive routes such as Horseshoe Rd and Foothill Rd. The lack of dense town centers emphasizes the area's rural character, where local movement is dictated by these long, straight gravel and paved corridors connecting disparate farmsteads and field access points.
