2022 Map of West of Russell Springs

About this map

The N Fork Smoky Hill River and the main branch of the Smoky Hill River converge in this section of Logan County, shaping a landscape of deep drainage channels and high plains plateaus. The topography is defined by the erosion of the river system, which carves through the central Kansas terrain between the established ranges of T12S and T13S. A sparse network of roads follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, including Co RD 160 and Co RD 220, while specific local routes such as Osage, Rawhide, and Topeka provide access to the interior rangelands. The map reveals the characteristic spatial organization of the American West, where the natural wandering paths of the water contrast with the rigid, square-mile grid of the township system.
