2018 Map of Turpin NE

About this map

The high plains of the Kansas-Oklahoma state line define this 2018 survey, where the boundary between Seward County, Kansas, and Beaver County, Oklahoma, meets. The landscape is organized by a meticulous grid of rural routes, including Hollow N1200 and Hollow E0050, which facilitate movement between scattered homesteads and agricultural plots. This infrastructure supports the small community of Little Ponderosa in the west, a rare concentrated settlement in an area otherwise characterized by vast section lines. Evidence of the region’s long-standing community roots can be found at Union Cem and Turpin Cem, which serve as quiet landmarks among the fields. In the southwestern corner, the drainage of Sharp Cr provides a subtle break in the topographic regularity of the high prairie. The map records a moment of modern rural life, where local developments like Country Estates Rd interface with the traditional township and range system.
