2015 Map of Spring

About this map

The town of Anthony anchors the northern edge of this agricultural landscape in Harper County, where the plains of southern Kansas meet a complex network of prairie waterways. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain defined by the dendritic patterns of Bluff Cr and its tributaries, including Beaver Cr and Spring Cr. The land is meticulously organized by the Public Land Survey System, with a rigid grid of rural roads such as SW 40 Ave and SE 70 Rd providing access to the deep interior of sections across townships T33S through T35S. Downward-cutting streams like Cooper Cr and Wildcat Cr create local relief in the otherwise steady topography, illustrating the drainage towards the southern border. The presence of the namesake Spring in the central portion of the map suggests a vital local water source that influenced the development of the surrounding rural farmsteads and transport routes.
