About this map

The boundary line between Pratt County and Barber County bisects this south-central Kansas landscape, where the prairie begins to break into the complex drainage systems of the Medicine Lodge River watershed. The terrain is defined by the branching tributaries of South Elm Creek, including the W Br S Elm Cr and the winding East Branch South Elm Creek. These waterways create a series of draws and ridges that stand in contrast to the more level agricultural sections found further north.

Elm Mills serves as a primary geographic marker in a region dominated by section-line roads and rural corridors such as NW Elm Mills Rd and Lake City Rd NW. Other drainages like Mulberry Cr and Cottonwood Cr illustrate the natural erosion patterns of the Gypsum Hills fringe. This 2018 survey provides a precise look at the modern land use and hydraulic features of these rural townships, from the headwaters of Sand Cr to the various unnamed cattle ponds scattered across the range.
