2018 Map of Trout Creek

About this map

The Cimarron River meanders across this High Plains landscape, defining a wide alluvial corridor at the border of Clark and Comanche Counties. This survey captures a region primarily shaped by its drainage network, where the primary river system is joined by numerous tributaries including Bluff Cr to the north and the namesake Trout stream in the south. The terrain is characterized by the complex branching of Snake Cr and Day Cr, which carve through the prairie to meet the main river channel. The map illustrates a remote ranching or agricultural environment where human presence is marked by a sparse grid of section lines and gravel roads such as Ave S and RD 2. This 2018 edition reveals the persistent rural character of the Kansas borderlands, highlighting the vital relationship between the seasonal watercourses like Willow Cr and the open plains.
