About this map

Syracuse-Hamilton County Municipal Airport sits at the southwestern corner of this Western Kansas landscape, serving as a primary landmark in a region defined by agricultural grids and intermittent waterways. The terrain is marked by the winding courses of Sand Cr and Syracuse Cr, which cut through the open plains. The area is heavily partitioned by an organized network of section roads, including Rd 12, Rd Q, and Co Rd 13, reflecting the systematic land management of the High Plains.

This 2022 survey documents the contemporary rural infrastructure within Hamilton County, specifically across multiple townships such as t22s r40w and t23s r39w. The transition between different township ranges and the placement of local connectors like Rd 16 and Rd U illustrate the enduring importance of the Public Land Survey System in defining modern property and transportation boundaries in this prairie environment.
