2018 Map of Wallace

About this map

Wallace stands as a central point in this High Plains landscape, situated just north of where the Smoky Hill River cuts through the western Kansas terrain. The map documents a territory defined by its drainage patterns, with numerous named draws such as Headquarters Draw, Depperschmidt Draw, and Capper Draw feeding toward the river valley. A significant historical site is preserved here in the form of the Fort Wallace Post Cem and the nearby Fort Wallace Cem, marking the legacy of the 19th-century frontier military post. The topography is further punctuated by Motti Hill to the north and the localized depression of Big Lagoon to the east. Modern land use is illustrated by a grid of rural routes, including Tumbleweed Rd and Quartz Rd, which navigate the elevation changes near Homestead Canyon.
