2018 Map of South of Crosby Creek

About this map

The High Plains landscape of Northwest Kansas is defined by the ephemeral drainages of Little Beaver Cr, Crosby Cr, and Battle Cr as they cut through the agricultural tableland. Straddling the border between Cheyenne County and Sherman County, this area reflects the rigid geometry of the Public Land Survey System, where a network of county roads like Co RD 80 and Co RD 10 follow section lines. The map reveals the subtle topography of the region, where the land falls away from the flat upland into winding draws and coulees. This 2018 survey illustrates a modern rural layout where industrial agriculture and traditional land divisions meet, with very few structures or named settlements interrupting the vast stretches of open country and seasonal watercourses.
