2015 Map of Shallow Water

About this map

Shallow Water and the surrounding agricultural lands of western Kansas are depicted here in the mid-2010s, showing the intersection of Scott and Finney counties. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage patterns of White Woman Creek and Rocky Draw, which cut through a grid of section roads like S Grant Rd and S Lariat Rd. Genealogists and local historians will find the Prairie View Cem positioned centrally near the county line, a key landmark for tracing family roots in this rural township structure. Small settlements like Friend and Chevron are situated along the primary transportation corridors, illustrating the sparse but organized settlement pattern characteristic of the High Plains. The map's detailed road network, including family-named routes such as N Chmelka Rd, reflects the long-standing ranching and farming heritage of the region.
