The Smoky Hill River winds across this Western Kansas landscape, providing the primary drainage for a series of intermittent draws and canyons. The town of Wallace serves as the focal point of the region, situated just north of the river and south of the high plains topography marked by Headquarters Draw. This area is steeped in frontier history, anchored by the Fort Wallace Cem, which remains a significant landmark of the late 19th-century military presence in the High Plains. The landscape is characterized by a mix of wide draws like Depperschmidt Draw and Capper Draw, alongside distinct features such as Big Lagoon and the winding Homestead Canyon. A network of rural routes, including Tumbleweed Rd and Outpost Rd, connects the scattered water sources of Pond Cr and Coon Cr, reflecting the enduring agricultural and ranching character of Wallace County.
