2010 Map of West Bethany Church

About this map

Harrison Flats dominates the northeastern corner of this western Kansas landscape, where the High Plains topography is defined by the ephemeral drainages of Ladder Creek and its tributary, South Ladder Creek. This 2010 USGS survey documents the rural character of Greeley County, structured by a rigid section-line road grid including Thirteen Mile Rd and various county routes. The drainage patterns of Chalk Creek carve through the northern territory, illustrating the hydrological network that has shaped land use and ranching boundaries in this part of Tribune Township. While the map is devoid of large towns, the scattered small structures and stock ponds along the creek beds highlight the localized development necessary for modern agricultural operations in an arid environment.
