About this map

Agricultural patterns and a strict rectangular grid define this area of southwest Kansas, where the border between Seward Co and Meade Co runs vertically through the landscape. The terrain is characterized by numerous small, seasonally wet depressions and basins typical of the High Plains, interspersed among a network of section-line roads. Major north-south corridors like Road S, Rosson Rd, Co Rd V, and Road W provide the primary access to these rural tracts. The map illustrates the 21st-century state of land management in the region, showing how east-west routes such as Burr Rd, Co Rd 18, and Co Rd 16 connect isolated farmsteads and agricultural operations. This survey captures the sparse, utilitarian layout of the modern prairie before further consolidation of farm properties or changes in irrigation practices.
