2018 Map of Pence SE

About this map

Scott County's High Plains terrain is etched by a complex series of draws and escarpments in this 2018 topographic study. The landscape is defined by a rigid grid of section roads, including N Apache Rd, N Cherokee Rd, and N Eagle Rd, which navigate the elevation changes between the flat uplands and the broken drainage patterns. This survey reveals the persistent nature of the Public Land Survey System, where modern corridors like North Dakota Rd and W Rd 210 follow the township and range boundaries established long before current automation. The intricate contouring shows the erosion-carved breaks that interrupt the otherwise uniform agricultural plains of western Kansas, providing a detailed look at how the natural topography dictates the layout of regional infrastructure.
