2022 Map of Pence SW

About this map

The Wichita Co Scott Co border defines the eastern edge of this landscape, where the High Plains terrain is etched by a complex network of ephemeral drainage patterns. This 2022 survey captures the modern agricultural grid of Western Kansas, dominated by a systematic layout of section-line roads such as Marienthal Rd and Co Rd G. The map reveals the relationship between the flat upland plains and the sudden breaks of local topography, where the land drops away into deeply textured draws and coulees. These natural features contrast sharply with the rigid human geometry of Co Rd N and other corridors that facilitate transport across the sparse, open country. For researchers, the map provides a precise look at the rural infrastructure and land management boundaries in this remote corner of the state.
