2018 Map of Syracuse East SE

About this map

The boundary between Hamilton Co and Kearny Co bisects this High Plains landscape, where the rectangular Public Land Survey System grid governs the layout of the modern road network. Settled agricultural patterns are evident through the preservation of the Menno Cem, a key genealogical landmark located along Big Bow Grade. The terrain is defined by the subtle drainage of Wolf Cr in the southern portion of the quadrangle, which breaks the otherwise uniform section lines. This 2018 survey reveals a sparse settlement pattern characteristic of western Kansas, where transportation is dictated by named county routes like Co Rd Y and Co Rd B. The map serves as a clear record of land division and rural infrastructure in the early 21st century.
