2016 Map of Wagon Bed Spring

About this map

The Cimarron River winds through the southwestern Kansas prairie, defining the landscape of Sullivan Township in this modern topographic study. This area is noted for Wagon Bed Spring, a landmark of deep historical significance along the river valley. The map details the transition from the high plains to the riverbed, marked by the intersection of S Wagonbed Springs Rd and Co Rd 10 S. Cultural and genealogical points of interest include the Zionville Cem situated north of the river. The southern portion of the map follows the straight administrative boundary of the Grant Co and Stevens Co line, crossed by the north-south axis of Rd Dd. This survey captures the sparse, rural nature of the region, where the primary infrastructure consists of a grid-like network of county roads supporting local agriculture and the management of water resources along the Cimarron.
