2018 Map of Orion SW

About this map

The Smoky Hill River winds across the southern reaches of this Western Kansas landscape, carving a significant valley through the High Plains. This 2018 survey of Gove County reveals a rural environment structured by the Public Land Survey System, with township boundaries like t14s r31w and t14s r30w defining the administrative grid. While the area is largely characterized by open terrain, drainage networks like Plum Cr in the north and Hell Cr in the southwest provide the primary geographic relief. The map documents the modern infrastructure of the region, where county routes such as Co Rd 22, Gove 24, and Gove 28 serve as the primary conduits between isolated ranching and agricultural tracts in this sparsely populated portion of the state.
