2022 Map of Sharon Springs East

About this map

Sharon Springs marks the western edge of this High Plains landscape, where the town grid meets a network of watercourses and rural roads. The most prominent hydrological feature is the Smoky Hill River, which courses through the southern portion of the quadrangle alongside its tributaries, Eagletail Cr and Rose Cr. To the north, Pond Cr meanders through the central sections, carving subtle relief into the open terrain. The northeast corner is defined by the Red Hills, a localized elevation that breaks the generally steady topography of the region. The map documents a structured land system of township and range boundaries, including t13s r40w and t13s r39w, interconnected by local routes such as Quartz Rd and Tumbleweed Rd. This 2022 survey provides an updated record of land use and water management in Wallace County, illustrating how modern infrastructure like Nighthawk Rd aligns with the natural flow of the western Kansas plains.
