About this map

Mulberry Cr and the winding tributaries of the South Elm Creek system define this rural landscape along the border of Pratt and Barber Counties. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of intermittent stream channels, including Cottonwood Cr and Sand Cr, which have carved subtle drainage patterns across the Kansas prairie. A rigid grid of section roads, such as Mcadoo Rd and Bethany Rd NW, overlays the natural topography, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in this agricultural region.

The locality of Elm Mills sits near the western edge of the map, connected by a network of gravel routes including NW Elm Mills Rd. These roads often follow high ground between the various branches of the creek, such as W Br S Elm Cr and the East Branch South Elm Creek. This survey captures the intersection of traditional land use and modern infrastructure, where established transit corridors like Lake City Rd NW navigate the complex hydrography of the southern Kansas plains.
