About this map

Walnut Creek and several other northern tributaries of the Solomon River basin define this rural landscape in north-central Kansas. The terrain is organized by a strict section-line grid of local roads, such as W Buffalo Rd and E Hunter Rd, which underscore the agricultural purpose of the land in the early 21st century. The map shows how water drainage dictates the placement of roads and field boundaries, with West Big Creek and East Big Creek carving north-to-south paths through the prairie. While the area lacks dense settlements, the intricate network of secondary roads like E 100 Rd and W 200 Rd provides access to many farmsteads. This survey reveals the enduring rural character of Phillips County, where seasonal streams like Plotner Creek and Spring Creek remain the most significant landmarks on the open landscape.
