2022 Map of Shaw

About this map

The settlement of Shaw sits at the intersection of a vast agricultural and prairie landscape where the Washington Co and Lincoln Co lines meet. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the North Fork Arikaree River, which carves a complex series of bluffs and drainage patterns through the center of the region. This river system, along with its tributary Gordon Creek in the north, dictates the orientation of the local road network, which primarily follows the rectilinear Public Land Survey System grid except where diverted by the river's topography.
