About this map

Blodgett and the rural vicinity of Star Gem anchor this Greenwood County landscape, where the prairie topography is defined by the headwaters and branches of Otter Cr. The terrain is marked by distinct rises like Temple Knob and the low-lying drainage patterns of Watson Br and Kivett Cr. The survey captures the transition of the local economy through a dense network of township and county roads, reflecting the persistent section-line grid of Kansas agricultural history.

From Junkyard Hill Rd to the southern reach near S Br Otter Cr, the map documents the intersection of natural watercourses and the human-made road system, including Star Rd and Love Ln. This documentation by the U.S. Geological Survey serves as a clear record of the area's rural development and hydrologic features in the mid-2010s, offering a precise look at the named branches and hills that characterize this part of the state.
