2018 Map of Plains NW

About this map

The convergence of Haskell, Gray, Seward, and Meade counties creates a complex administrative boundary in this rural Kansas landscape. The survey reflects the strict section-line organization of the High Plains, where agricultural land use is dictated by a grid of named routes such as J J Rd, Kk Rd, and B Rd. This systematic layout illustrates the large-scale ranching and farming operations that define the region's economy, as evidenced by the numerous small water catchment basins scattered throughout the townships. Notable local thoroughfares include Rosson Rd and the significant boundary marker Co Line Rd 24, which separates Haskell and Seward counties. The sparse distribution of structures among the township and range divisions, including t29s r31w and t31s r30w, highlights the persistent rural character of this corner of the state into the twenty-first century.
