About this map

Grant County and Kearny County meet along a linear boundary in this High Plains landscape, where the Jeffersonian grid of the Public Land Survey System is deeply etched into the geography. The terrain is defined by its agricultural and industrial layout, evidenced by a dense network of section-line roads such as N Road C and County Road 7. One of the few significant relief features is the drainage of Wolf Creek, which meanders through the western portion of the township. Near the center of the sheet, the Shockey Cemetery stands as a focal point for local genealogical interest, representing a quiet record of the families who settled this part of Sherman Township. While largely rural, the presence of the Oil Well Access Road signals the importance of energy extraction alongside the traditional farming economy of western Kansas.
