2009 Map of Weskan NW

About this map

The Smoky Hill River meanders across this High Plains landscape in Wallace County, defining a drainage system that includes several significant tributaries. To the north, the sharp incision of Rattlesnake Gulch cuts through the terrain, while Willow Creek and Eagleton Creek track through the central and southern portions of the quadrangle. This 2009 survey reflects the stark, open character of the region, where the primary human footprint is a strictly surveyed grid of section lines and rural routes. The map records a network of local roads including Wa Wu, Wa W-N, and RD Wa-W-O, which provide access across the wide intervals between watercourses in this sparsely settled corner of western Kansas.
