2022 Map of Selkirk SE

About this map

James Draw cuts a diagonal path across this high plains landscape, serving as the primary drainage feature for the surrounding prairie. This area, where Greeley County and Wichita County meet, is defined by the rigid geometry of the Public Land Survey System, with township lines like t20s r39w and t19s r38w governing the layout of the country road network. The map reveals a specialized agricultural environment where north-south thoroughfares such as Co Rd 26 and Co Rd 25 intersect with east-west routes like Co Rd Z and Co Rd AA at precise intervals. To the south, the intersection of four counties—Greeley, Wichita, Hamilton, and Kearny—creates a rare jurisdictional nexus near Co Rd EE. The sparse distribution of named water features and the prominence of the section grid highlight the reliance on groundwater and organized land management in this western Kansas frontier.
