2018 Map of Pump Creek

About this map

Pump Cr and its many tributaries carve a network of drainage basins across this portion of Barber County. The landscape is defined by its watershed geography, featuring the headwaters and branches of Big Sandy Cr, Bitter Cr, and Little Mule Cr. Human activity is primarily traced through a sparse grid of rural roads that follow the section lines or the natural contours of the stream valleys. Significant routes such as Lake City Rd and Union Chapel Rd provide access to the interior, while Cottage Creek Rd and Bitter Creek Rd serve the surrounding cattle and agricultural lands. The presence of Deadman Cr and Hackberry Cr further illustrates the complex hydrological system that dictates the placement of transit and land use in this western Kansas terrain.
