2015 Map of Ruleton

About this map

Ruleton sits along the high plains of Sherman County, where the transition from traditional section roads to modern infrastructure is clearly visible. This survey documents a landscape defined by its agricultural grid and intermittent watercourses, including the westward-flowing Middle Beaver Cr and S Beaver Cr in the southern sections. The map reveals the historical corridor of Old US Hwy 24, which runs parallel to the newer interstate through the township boundaries of t8s r42w and t8s r41w. For local historians and researchers, the detailed platting of rural routes like Ruleton Ave and the drainage patterns of Sappa Cr provide a specific look at land use and water management in this part of western Kansas during the early twenty-first century.
