2018 Map of Ruleton NW

About this map

The High Plains of Sherman County are defined by a vast grid of section lines and drainage patterns in this 2018 survey. The southeastern corner of the quadrangle is marked by the meandering path of Middle Beaver Cr, which cuts through the otherwise uniform agricultural landscape. This portion of the county, organized under townships such as t7s r41w and t8s r42w, maintains a strict rectilinear geometry governed by a network of local thoroughfares. These routes, including Co Rd 75 at the northern boundary and Co Rd 67 at the south, serve as the primary infrastructure for the dispersed farmsteads of the region. The map illustrates the intersection of human-imposed township boundaries with the subtle natural topography of western Kansas, providing a detailed view of the rural section-line road system that has dictated land use for generations.
