2018 Map of Sharon Springs East

About this map

Sharon Springs marks the western edge of this High Plains landscape, where the street grid including Kennedy St and S Front St meets the open terrain of Wallace County. The Smoky Hill River meanders across the central and southern portions of the sheet, joined by seasonal tributaries such as Eagletail Cr and Rose Cr. To the north, the elevation rises toward the Red Hills, an area defined by the drainage of Pond Cr and a network of section-line roads like Quartz Rd and Tumbleweed Rd. This 2018 survey reveals the modern rural infrastructure of the Kansas prairie, illustrating how the township boundaries of t12s r40w and t13s r39w organize a landscape primarily shaped by the hydrology of the Smoky Hill valley and the vast, open spaces between established ranch and farm corridors.
