2012 Map of Saunders

About this map

Saunders stands as a primary point of reference in this corner of Stanton County, where the high plains landscape is defined by an extensive grid of county roads and vital water management. The terrain is drained by the winding courses of Bear Cr and Sand Arroyo Cr, which meander through the prairie towards significant local impoundments. Among these are the Hoopengarner SW-1 Reservoir and Hoopengarner SW-4 Reservoir, reflecting the essential nature of water storage in this semi-arid agricultural region. To the south, Burchfield Lake and the Konantz Cem provide anchor points for local history and genealogy, marking the enduring presence of families on the land. The meticulous road network, including routes like Co RD 56 and W Road 19, illustrates the organized expansion of Kansas farming and ranching during the early twenty-first century.
