About this map

Pottawatomie Cr and its numerous tributaries, including Elm Cr, Rock Cr, and Scott Cr, define the drainage patterns across this section of the Kansas landscape. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of sectional roads that follow the Public Land Survey System, creating a rhythmic grid typical of the Great Plains. These routes, such as Shetland Rd, Trefoil Rd, and Yearling Rd, provide access to the rural agricultural tracts that dominate the area.

The boundary between Coffey and Anderson Counties runs along the eastern edge of the survey, marking a jurisdictional divide in an otherwise contiguous pastoral environment. The intricate winding of Crooked Cr and Long Cr through the southern and western portions of the quadrangle suggests a landscape shaped by persistent water erosion over the limestone and shale bedrock common to this region of the Flint Hills. This map serves as a detailed record of rural land divisions and natural watercourses at the start of the twenty-first century.
