2009 Map of Ruleton SE

About this map

The settlement of Caruso stands as a focal point in this portion of Sherman County, situated just north of the major highway corridor that bisects the landscape. This area is defined by the headwaters and drainage patterns of the Middle Fork Sappa Creek and South Beaver Creek, which wind through the High Plains terrain. The transportation network shows a transition from historical routes like Old US Hwy 24 to the modern interstate alignment, reflecting the evolution of cross-country travel in western Kansas. The surrounding rural space is organized by a strict grid of section roads, including Co Rd 66 and Co Rd 12, which serve the agricultural plots and scattered farmsteads characteristic of the region. This 2009 survey provides a precise look at the land use and hydrology before subsequent cycles of environmental change and infrastructure updates.
