About this map

The High Plains city of Ulysses serves as the focal point of this Grant County survey, showing a well-defined residential and commercial grid that transitions abruptly into the surrounding agricultural landscape. The town's layout is grounded by major thoroughfares like W Oklahoma Ave and S Main St, with the residential sectors extending toward Ulysses Airport to the northwest. This 2018 edition illustrates the modern scale of irrigation and land management in southwest Kansas, where the grid of county roads, such as Co Rd 12 and Co Rd 15, strictly partitions the terrain.

Water management is dominated by the seasonal and intermittent drainage patterns of the N Fork Cimarron River and Lakin Draw, which carve shallow depressions across the otherwise level landscape. The map provides clear locations for local landmarks like the Ulysses Cem situated east of the city center. This detail offers a precise view of the community's footprint and the vast agricultural network that supports it in the early 21st century.
