2018 Map of Ruleton

About this map

Ruleton sits as a quiet hub in Sherman County, marking a landscape defined by the expansive high plains of western Kansas. This survey captures a rural environment where agriculture and transportation history intersect, notably where Old Us Hwy 24 and Ruleton Ave navigate the grid-based sections of the High Plains. The drainage patterns of the region are clearly defined by the winding paths of Middle Beaver Cr, S Beaver Cr, and the headwaters of Sappa Cr. These seasonal watercourses dictate the subtle topography of the terrain, carving draws through the otherwise level prairie. The map provides a precise look at the section lines and county road network, including Co Rd 65 and Co Rd 9, which have facilitated movement across this expansive ranching and farming country for generations.
