About this map

Sand Creek Reservoir and the accompanying Sand Creek Dam anchor the northeast quadrant of this landscape, situated at the edge of the Sand Draw terrain. This 2010 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey reveals a strictly organized agricultural grid in Sedgwick County, defined by a dense network of county roads. The terrain is primarily characterized by the intermittent drainage of Spring Creek and Sand Creek, which carve subtle depressions through the high plains. The intersection of local infrastructure with these water features highlights the precision of western land management, where roads like County Rd-14 and County Rd-49 strictly follow section lines regardless of the underlying topography.
