2012 Map of Penalosa

About this map

The S Fork Ninnescah River meanders across the southern portion of this landscape, defining the character of the countryside near the community of Calista. North of the river, the landscape is marked by the expansive Kingman County State Lake, a significant water feature and recreational landmark for the region. The drainage patterns are further established by tributaries such as Goose Cr, Mead Cr, and Painter Cr, which cut through the strictly organized agricultural grid. A network of county roads, including W Maple Grove Rd and S Langdon Rd, follows section lines, reflecting the enduring legacy of the public land survey system in Kingman County. This 2012 survey illustrates a transition where prairie watercourses and modern infrastructure meet, preserving the location of local crossroads and rural water bodies as they appeared in the early 21st century.
