2016 Map of Selkirk SW

About this map

The high plains landscape of western Kansas is defined by the strict geometry of the Public Land Survey System along the border of Greeley Co and Hamilton Co. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent grid of the agricultural frontier, where section lines dictate the path of travel through an arid, open expanse. Notable corridors like Co Rd 1993 and Co Rd EE trace the township lines of t20s r40w and t21s r39w, marking the boundaries between vast tracts of rangeland or cultivated fields. The absence of concentrated settlements emphasizes the rural character of the region, where infrastructure is limited to the essential network of county roads such as Co Rd BB and Co Rd 19. For the researcher, the map preserves the exact layout of land divisions and the naming conventions of the modern county road system in a sparsely populated corner of the state.
