About this map

The Smoky Hill River winds through the southern reaches of this Logan County landscape, joined by the drainage of Sixmile Cr. This area of the High Plains is defined by its agricultural grid, where county roads follow township and range lines across the flat terrain. Several named routes like Seneca, Rawhide, and Topeka intersect the section lines, suggesting a legacy of named local thoroughfares that predate modern numbering.

To the south, the terrain breaks into more complex drainage patterns as it approaches the river valley, most notably at Six Mile Gulch. This 2015 survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure, showing the relationship between water sources and the wide-open ranching or farming tracts typical of Western Kansas. The map captures the quiet character of the region, where the vast scale of the land is measured by the steady intervals of roads like Co Rd 320 and Co Rd 350.
