2012 Map of Trout Creek

About this map

The Cimarron River winds through the heart of this landscape, carving a prominent path through Comanche County. This 2012 survey illustrates a sparse, ranching-oriented terrain defined primarily by its drainage network and remote aviation infrastructure. Shupe Airport serves as a lone landmark near the river's northern banks, highlighting the importance of private aviation in the expansive plains of western Kansas. Tributaries like Snake Cr, Day Cr, and Trout converge toward the main river valley, while Bluff Cr and Willow Cr define the eastern reaches of the quadrangle. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and local roads that cross the drainage basins, reflecting the enduring pattern of land division and agricultural development in the region.
