2018 Map of Shallow Water

About this map

Shallow Water and the surrounding agricultural lands of western Kansas are defined by a rhythmic grid of rural roads and scattered irrigation features. This landscape, straddling the boundary between Scott Co and Finney Co, centers on the small communities along the north-south transport corridor. The ephemeral drainage of White Woman Cr cuts across the northern townships, a natural landmark in an area otherwise shaped by human geometry. Genealogy researchers can locate the Prairie View Cem situated near the county line, while the small settlements of Chevron and Friend anchor the southern portion of the sheet. The map reveals the intense land division of the high plains, where named local routes like S Lovers Ln and Big Lowe Rd serve isolated farmsteads and the region's essential water management infrastructure.
