2012 Map of Shallow Water

About this map

Shallow Water serves as the primary settlement on this agricultural landscape in Scott County, positioned at the intersection of several local routes such as W Road 70 and S Lovers Ln. The terrain is characterized by a high-plains grid of section lines and gravel roads, including the long-running S Herford Rd and S Kansas Rd. Significant for local genealogy, the Prairie View Cem stands alone in the southern section of the quadrangle, north of W Finney Scott Rd. The intermittent course of White Woman Cr crosses the northwest corner, providing the only major natural drainage feature in an area otherwise defined by human engineering. Scattered settlements like Chevron and Friend reflect the late 20th-century rural infrastructure, while the density of named roads indicates the organized partition of this prairie region for grain production.
