2015 Map of South Flats

About this map

South Flats occupies the southern reaches of this Wallace County landscape, where the High Plains terrain is etched by a series of intermittent watercourses. The drainage patterns of Rose Cr, N Fork Rose Cr, and Sand Cr create a network of draws and ridges across the northern sections, contrasting with the level expanses to the south. This 2015 survey reflects a rural infrastructure defined by a strictly surveyed grid of section lines and named thoroughfares. The presence of the Walker Landing Strip on the western edge suggests the importance of light aircraft in managing these large agricultural holdings. Local transport is facilitated by a network of descriptive roads, including Jackrabbit Rd, Ironhorse Rd, and Killdeer Rd, which provide access to the remote homesteads and fields that characterize this portion of Western Kansas.
