2009 Map of Turkey Creek

About this map

Turkey Creek and its tributary, Little Turkey Creek, drain this rural expanse in Kiowa County, where the landscape is defined by the dendritic patterns of high plains drainage. The hydrology of the area is further marked by the presence of West Kiowa Creek and Sand Creek, carving subtle paths through the terrain. Human presence is etched onto the land in a strict sectional grid, with arterial routes like Old Hwy 34 and Zane Rd providing the primary framework for movement. The map captures a moment in the early 21st century where the traditional rural infrastructure remains, represented by gravel roads such as Co Rd 136 and 134 Rd, which facilitate the agriculture and ranching interests characteristic of the region.
