2018 Map of Scott City

About this map

Scott City serves as the primary hub of this High Plains landscape, where the grid of city streets like N Main St and E 5th St transitions abruptly into the expansive agricultural sections of the surrounding prairie. To the south, the landscape is defined by the ephemeral courses of White Woman Cr and Lion Cr, which snake through the terrain toward White Woman Basin. The map captures the quiet transition from the urban center to outlying areas such as Hutchins and Shallow Water, reflecting the deep-rooted irrigation and ranching traditions of western Kansas. Cultural landmarks like the Scott County Cem and the Scott City Municipal Airport anchor the community, while the drainage patterns at Rocky Draw illustrate the subtle but significant topography that dictates land use in this semi-arid region.
