2022 Map of Plum Creek South

About this map

The Arkansas River and the agricultural infrastructure of Hamilton County define this western Kansas landscape. The Alamo Ditch runs parallel to the river's path through the southern reaches of the quadrangle, illustrating the vital importance of irrigation to this high plains region. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainage systems, including the namesake Plum Cr and Sand Cr, which cut through the open country. This 2022 survey captures a strictly rural environment, organized by a rigid grid of local roads such as RD K and RD 11. The mapping highlights the Public Land Survey System divisions, featuring township and range lines like t23s r41w that have governed land ownership and agricultural boundaries in this part of Kansas for over a century.
