2018 Map of Saint John SW

About this map

The rolling plains of the Kansas landscape are defined by the winding paths of Wild Horse Cr and Little Wild Horse Cr as they traverse the borderlands of Pawnee Co and Stafford Co. This survey illustrates a meticulously surveyed section of the state, where a rigid grid of rural roads—including Zook Rd and Saint John Rd—intersects the natural topography. The drainage patterns of the creeks suggest a subtle varied elevation, contrasting with the straight lines of the township and range boundaries. This map provides a clear picture of the land-use patterns in the early 21st century, showing how the rural infrastructure adapts to the underlying hydrology and the historical Public Land Survey System divisions that have governed this region since the original homestead era.
