2012 Map of Proffitt Lake

About this map

Proffitt Lake serves as a central landmark in this southwestern Kansas landscape, where a network of seasonal and perennial drainages carves through the high plains. The drainage pattern is defined by several significant watercourses, including Big Sandy Cr, Twomile Cr, and Johns Cr, which flow across a largely open territory. A modest grid of rural roads, including Q RD and U RD, provides access to this corner of Meade County, reflecting the sparse settlement patterns typical of the region's agricultural and ranching economy in the early 21st century. The map highlights the intersection of natural hydrology and human infrastructure, such as where 283 crosses the upper reaches of Indian Cr and Gyp Cr in the northern portion of the quadrangle.
