2016 Map of Sawyer

About this map

Sawyer sits at the northern edge of this Kansas landscape, positioned along the boundary where the prairie meets the drainage basins of several local waterways. The terrain is defined by the branching paths of N Elm Cr, Crooked Cr, and Amber Cr, which carve through the agricultural sections of the High Plains. This 2016 survey illustrates a traditional grid of section lines and rural roads such as Mingona Rd and Rainbow Rd, reflecting the enduring land management patterns of Pratt and Barber Counties. Further south, the map reveals the aviation footprint of the Elm Creek Farms Airport situated near the banks of Elm Creek. The distribution of these water bodies and transport routes highlights the area's transition between concentrated settlement and open ranching or farming land.
