About this map

The northern reaches of Pawnee County and the southern edge of Rush County meet across a landscape defined by seasonal watercourses and the rigid geometry of the Public Land Survey System. The area is drained by a network of creeks including Old Maids Fork, Sandy Cr, and Cocklebur Cr, which weave through the section lines of the High Plains. Transport is dictated by the grid, anchored by prominent east-west thoroughfares like Ave X and Ave Y.

A notable survey marker, the Correction Line Rd, runs along the southern portion of the map, illustrating the technical adjustments required to maintain a square grid on a curved earth. The transition into Township 21 South is marked by N Pawnee St, providing a rare named navigational point in this agricultural expanse. This survey records the rural layout of the region, from the northern boundary near Otter Cr to the scattered section roads like CR 180 and Y Rd.
