2009 Map of South Flats

About this map

South Flats and Harrison Flats dominate this High Plains landscape in western Wallace County, where the topography is defined by broad, level plateaus and the intermittent drainage systems that carve through them. The map reveals a strictly organized grid of rural routes, including Rd WA E-F and Rd WA S-22, which facilitate movement across the agricultural expanse. Water features are seasonal and subtle, represented by the meandering paths of Rose Creek, North Fork Rose Creek, and Sand Creek in the north, while Ladder Creek crosses the southwestern corner. One notable landmark of human activity in this otherwise sparse terrain is the Walker Landing Strip, situated in the northwest. This layout provides a clear view of the late 20th-century land management patterns, where isolated farmsteads are linked by a predictable network of gravel and dirt roads.
