About this map

The boundary between Ford and Clark Counties defines the northern reaches of this landscape, where high prairie breaks into a complex system of drainage draws and seasonal creeks. The terrain is dominated by the winding course of Bluff Cr, which feeds into the recreational anchor of the area, Clark County State Lake. This southern reservoir is framed by N Lake Rd and S Lake Rd, serving as a focal point for the region's geography.

Evidence of local land use and infrastructure is visible through features like the Esplund Farm Airport and a grid of rural county roads. Waterways such as Simmons Cr, Hargis Cr, and Rattlesnake Cr dissect the plains, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have shaped ranching and farming boundaries across these townships. The map provides a detailed look at the section lines and township ranges that organize this portion of the Kansas interior.
