About this map

The McPherson Co Edmunds Co boundary line divides this agricultural landscape, where the prairie is etched by a rigid section-line road grid typical of the Great Plains. Established thoroughfares like CR-13 and 124th St connect the scattered homesteads and farming operations that define the region's rural economy. The terrain is characterized by numerous small, seasonal prairie potholes and depressions, which influence the winding paths of secondary roads such as 349th Ave and 350th Ave. This topographic study by the U.S. Geological Survey details the fine elevation changes across the open fields, from the northern reaches of 122nd St to the southern extent near 130th St.
