About this map

The N Fork Cimarron River meanders across this southwestern portion of Morton County, carving a distinct drainage pattern through the high plains. This 2015 survey illustrates the enduring grid of the Public Land Survey System, with township boundaries for t31s r41w, t31s r40w, t32s r41w, and t32s r40w organizing the landscape into regular sections. The area is defined by its agricultural layout, where a network of county roads such as RD 19 and Z RD provides access to the expansive open acreage.

Evidence of early local settlement is anchored by the Richfield Cem in the southwestern quadrant, a significant site for genealogical research in this sparsely populated region. The map captures the interface between the river's natural course and the human-imposed geometry of the road system, including routes like Co RD 24 and U RD, which follow the section lines characteristic of the Kansas prairie.
