2012 Map of Simmons Creek

About this map

Clark County State Lake anchors the southeastern portion of this landscape, where the waters of Bluff Cr are impounded within the rolling plains of Ford County. The area is defined by a grid of rural section roads, including Co Line Rd, Zane Rd, and Yucca Rd, which divide the agricultural terrain. Aviation history is noted by the presence of Esplund Farm Airport, a private landing strip situated among the drainage basins of several local tributaries. These waterways, including Simmons Cr, Hargis Cr, and Rattlesnake Cr, create a dendritic drainage pattern across the prairie, shaping the local topography and the placement of the sparse farm infrastructure. The map illustrates a contemporary rural Kansas environment where modern land management and older transport routes converge around essential water resources.
