About this map

Hamilton County State Lake serves as a central landmark in this high plains landscape of western Kansas. Fed by Plum Creek, the reservoir is contained by the Hamilton County State Lake Dam, reflecting the region's managed water resources. The terrain is defined by a series of intermittent drainages, including Syracuse Creek, Sand Creek, and Dry Creek, which carve through the grid-patterned agricultural lands.

Industrial activity is evident at the Bradshaw Gas Field in the center of the quadrangle, illustrating the intersection of natural resource extraction and rural land use. The presence of Alamo Ditch in the southwest corner further underscores the historical and practical importance of water engineering in Hamilton County. A strictly rectangular road network, featuring routes like State Hwy 27 and various county roads, dictates the movement across this open country.
