2012 Map of Ruleton

About this map

Ruleton sits along the northern edge of this Sherman County landscape, where the High Plains are dissected by a series of intermittent watercourses including Middle Beaver Cr, S Beaver Cr, and the headwaters of Sappa Cr. The map captures the organized section-line road network characteristic of the region, featuring Ruleton Ave and a series of numbered routes like Road 62 and Road 59. Transportation is a central theme, as the modern interstate corridor parallels the historical route of Old US Hwy 24 and Front St. A notable waypoint for travelers is the Kansas Department of Transportation Sherman County Rest Area, positioned near the center of the sheet. The terrain illustrates the agricultural drainage patterns of western Kansas, where deep draws and seasonal creeks shape the otherwise level plains.
