2016 Map of Sublette SW

About this map

The Cimarron River carves a winding path across this Seward County landscape, its broad, meandering bed defining the local topography as it flows toward the southeast. The terrain is a grid of section lines and rural thoroughfares, where the transition between high plains and the river valley is marked by the shifting contours of the land. Mitchell Pond provides a localized water feature in the northern portion of the survey, while the extensive road network, including Moscow Rd and Co Rd 25, reveals the systematic division of the Kansas prairie. This 2016 record from the U.S. Geological Survey documents the enduring agricultural and natural patterns of the region, from the seasonal drainage of the river to the precisely maintained section roads like 23 Mile Rd and 17 Mile Rd.
