2018 Map of Turkey Creek

About this map

The high plains of south-central Kansas converge at the intersection of several counties in this topographic study. Watercourses such as Turkey Cr and its tributary Little Turkey Cr carve subtle drainages through the township, which is defined by a rigid grid of section lines and gravel routes. The map records the meeting point of four counties—Ford, Kiowa, Clark, and Comanche—near where W Kiowa Cr and Sand Cr flow through the southern reaches. These drainage patterns illustrate the natural water management of the region, while labels like Zane Rd and Lane Rd indicate the established transportation corridors that have facilitated ranching and agriculture across the plains for generations. The landscape remains largely open, characterized by the intermittent flow of Lone Tree Cr and Cavalry Cr against the surveyed boundaries of t30s r20w and surrounding townships.
