2022 Map of Spica

About this map

The N Fork Saline River and S Fork Saline River define this portion of Thomas County, Kansas, where the prairie is carved by seasonal watercourses. The tiny community of Spica sits near the upper reaches of the North Fork, representing a landscape dominated by the Public Land Survey System. The grid of country roads, including Co RD I and Co RD B, reflects the agricultural division of the High Plains. Along the southern boundary near Logan County, the roadway known as Fort Fox marks the transition between townships. The map illustrates how transportation corridors like Kismet Dr follow the natural topography of the river forks, providing a detailed look at the rural infrastructure of western Kansas in the twenty-first century.
