2018 Map of Tasco

About this map

Tasco sits at the northern end of this Sheridan County landscape, where the high plains are carved by a series of south-flowing drainage systems. The S Fork Solomon River winds across the northern sections, while the southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the headwaters of the N Fork Saline River. This hydrologic divide separates two major river systems in western Kansas, showing a terrain shaped by the slow erosion of several creeks including Sand Cr, Cortez Cr, and S Martin Cr. A rigid grid of section-line roads like Co Rd 503 and Rd 10 S overlays the natural topography, illustrating the late-stage development of the rural agricultural landscape. The map provides a detailed record of the intersections and local routes that connect this remote corner of the state.
