2016 Map of Redwing

About this map

Cheyenne Bottoms dominates the southern landscape of this Barton County region, illustrating the unique hydrology of one of the most significant inland wetlands in the United States. The map reveals a strictly organized section-line road grid, including NE 180 Rd and NE 100 Rd, which defines the agricultural character of the Great Plains. The small settlement of Redwing sits at a crossroads just north of the basin, while the edge of Hoisington appears in the southwest corner. Water features like Cow Cr and Deception Cr cut through the terrain, showing the drainage patterns that feed into the larger marsh system. This 2016 survey captures the intersection of deliberate human engineering and the natural topography of the Kansas prairie.
