2022 Map of Ulysses NE

About this map

Lakin Draw defines the central topography of this section of the High Plains, carving a distinct drainage path through the open agricultural landscape. The boundary between Kearny Co and Grant Co bisects the northern reach of the sheet, marked by the long stretch of Co Line Rd. This map reveals a meticulous grid of rural transport, where local routes like Co Rd 2 and N Rd K serve as the primary infrastructure for the region's expansive farming operations. The spatial organization of the townships, including t27s r37w and t26s r36w, illustrates the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on Kansas land use. While predominantly open country, the map identifies specific local landmarks such as Lakin Ln and Co Rd 5 W, which provide essential orientation for genealogists and local historians tracing family homesteads in the western part of the state.
