About this map

Finney County’s high plains terrain is defined here by a precise section-line grid of rural roads and seasonal wetlands. This landscape, surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey in the early 21st century, shows the systematic organization of agricultural land within township ranges t21s r31w, t21s r30w, t22s r31w, and t22s r30w. The network of local thoroughfares, including N Mennonite Rd and N Little Mennonite Rd, suggests the cultural footprint of the Mennonite community in western Kansas. Numerous small, scattered depressions across the flats indicate natural playa lakes, characteristic of this part of the Great Plains. The absence of dense settlements emphasizes the vast, open nature of this farming and ranching region south of the E Mead Rd corridor.
