About this map

Phillipsburg anchors the southern portion of this Kansas landscape, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural sections. The Phillips County Courthouse stands as a central landmark within the city grid, while the northern reaches of the quadrangle are defined by the headwaters of numerous small waterways including Bissell Cr, Plotner Cr, and Spring Cr. This systematic drainage pattern, carved into the plains, creates the distinctive terrain of Brushy Draw and the valleys of W Big Cr and E Big Cr.

Rural history is preserved in small pockets across the township lines of t2s r18w and t2s r17w, most notably at the Iowa Union Cem and Pleasant Hill Cem. The map reveals a highly structured road network, where legacy routes like W Kiowa Rd and E Navajo Rd follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating how human settlement was organized around the natural flow of Deer Cr and other local tributaries.
