2018 Map of Syracuse East

About this map

The Arkansas River winds through the high plains of western Kansas, defining the center of this Hamilton County landscape. Along its northern banks, the city of Syracuse sits as a regional hub, its street grid extending from Barton St and Ave A to the outskirts near the Syracuse-Hamilton County Municipal Airport. The importance of water management in this arid environment is evident in the presence of the Fort Aubrey Ditch, which cuts across the terrain north of the river. To the east, the small siding of Mayline serves as a reminder of the railroad-aligned development typical of the Kansas prairie. The southern half of the map reveals a more open landscape dominated by the sandy drainages of Sand Cr and a network of section roads like Rd 26 and Rd 27 that organize the expansive agricultural and grazing lands.
