2022 Map of Proffitt Lake

About this map

Proffitt Lake sits at the heart of this landscape, a significant water feature amidst the drainage networks of south-central Kansas. The terrain is defined by a series of intermittent and perennial waterways, including the winding paths of Big Sandy Cr and Twomile Cr, which carve through the plains along the Meade Co/Clark Co border. A notable geological feature in the northeast corner is the Big Basin, a prominent circular depression that breaks the steady contour patterns of the surrounding ranchland. Roads like CR S and CR U follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, reflecting the traditional grid-based settlement and management of this rural territory. Smaller tributaries like Johns Cr and Indian Cr further detail the complex hydrology that supports the region's agricultural use.
