About this map

The agricultural landscape of Rawlins County is defined by the winding course of Prairie Dog Cr and its tributary, N Fork Prairie Dog Cr. This section of Northwest Kansas showcases a highly regular township and range survey system, where a grid of section-line roads such as Co Road AA, Co Road BB, and Co Line Rd provides the primary infrastructure for the region's ranching and farming operations.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Hawkeye Cem situated in the northern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a solitary marker of the community's early settlement history. The terrain is characterized by the subtle drainage patterns feeding into the creek beds, a typical geographical feature of the High Plains before they transition into more varied elevations further east. This 2012 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey reflects the enduring rural character and sparse settlement pattern of this part of the state.
