2022 Map of Plum Creek North

About this map

Mattox Draw cuts across the northern section of this landscape in Hamilton County, Kansas, representing the ephemeral drainage patterns characteristic of the High Plains. The terrain is structured by the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines such as t21s r41w and t22s r41w defining large agricultural blocks. This geometric order is overlayed by a strictly gridded network of rural routes, including Rd J, Rd 3, and Rd N, which provide access to the expansive open acreage. In the southern portion of the sheet, the topography becomes more defined as it approaches Plum Cr and Sand Cr. These features indicate the subtle relief of the local watershed, where natural draws provide the only deviation from the systematic section roads. This map captures a quintessential Western Kansas landscape focused on land management and transportation within a vast prairie environment.
