2022 Map of Sharon Springs West

About this map

Sharon Springs serves as the primary hub of this High Plains landscape in Wallace County, where the residential grid meets the arterial path of Old US Hwy 40. To the west, the smaller settlement of Sunland sits along the same highway corridor, reflecting the sparse, wide-interval development typical of this western Kansas prairie. The drainage of the Smoky Hill River cuts through the center of the sheet, joined by smaller tributaries like Goose Cr and Eagletail Cr. Notable local landmarks include the Bussen Airport and the Sharon Springs Cem on the eastern edge of the survey. The terrain is marked by distinctive features such as Rattle Snake Gulch and the seasonal waters of Old Maid Pool, illustrating the transition from open grazing land to the eroded breaks of the river valley.
