About this map

The Saline River carves a deep valley through the northern sections of this Ellis County landscape, creating a distinct topographical break from the surrounding plains. The settlement of Turkville sits along the river's western banks, serving as a focal point for the region's rural road network. To the east, the Norman Cem remains a significant marker of local heritage, situated near the intersection of Saline River Rd and 330th Ave.

South of the river, the terrain becomes increasingly dissected by drainage patterns, including the headwaters of Sweetwater Cr in the southeastern corner. This area is defined by a rigorous section-line grid, where routes like Severin Rd, Buckeye Rd, and the uniquely named St John - St Andrew Rd provide access to the agricultural uplands. The mapping of these townships, including t11s r17w and t12s r16w, illustrates the enduring land-use patterns of the High Plains.
