About this map

The N Fork Cimarron River carves a winding path through this corner of Morton County, defining the drainage patterns of an otherwise orderly agricultural landscape. This portion of southwest Kansas is characterized by its rigid sectional grid, where long rural routes such as RD 19 and RD 20 intersect with lateral paths like Z RD and W RD. These roads represent the essential infrastructure of the High Plains, connecting remote farmsteads to the larger region. In the southwestern corner of the quadrangle, the Richfield Cem serves as a significant landmark for genealogists and local historians, anchoring the history of the families who settled this territory. The terrain is marked by subtle elevation changes near the riverbed, providing a contrast to the surrounding plateau where grain farming and ranching are the primary drivers of the local economy.
