2018 Map of Tribune SE

About this map

Mattox Draw defines the southern portion of this high plains landscape, cutting through the section lines where Greeley County meets Hamilton County. This 2018 survey reveals the meticulous grid system of the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines such as t20s r41w and t19s r40w organizing the vast agricultural territory. The transportation network is dominated by a strict orthometric pattern of county roads, including Co Rd 14, Co Rd 16, and Co Rd EE, which track the boundaries of large-scale land parcels. For researchers, the map provides an exacting look at contemporary land management and the persistence of the historic township system in western Kansas. The sparse distribution of named terrain features underscores the significance of natural drainage paths like the draw in an otherwise highly regularized agrarian environment.
