2022 Map of Plains NW

About this map

The High Plains landscape of southwestern Kansas meets at a crossroads of four counties in this 2022 survey. Located at the intersection of Haskell, Gray, Meade, and Seward counties, the terrain is characterized by a precise grid of rural section-line roads and numerous isolated depressions or ephemeral basins. The survey captures the organized land management of the region, where family-named routes like Rosson Rd and significant boundary markers like Co Line Rd 24 define the agricultural landscape. Unlike many regions where roads follow natural features, the network here, including Road W and Rd X, adheres strictly to the township and range system, specifically within Township 30 South, Range 31 West and surrounding areas. This documentation provides a contemporary view of the region's enduring rural infrastructure.
