2016 Map of Wild Horse Creek

About this map

Palco sits at the northern edge of this high plains landscape, serving as a primary point of settlement where the grid of section roads like X RD and Y RD meets the drainage of Spring Cr. The terrain is defined by the dendritic patterns of Wild Horse Creek, which flows southward toward the Saline River valley. This 2016 survey captures the complex jurisdictional intersection of five Kansas counties—Rooks, Graham, Trego, and Ellis—marked by clear boundary lines like N Co Line Rd. Local heritage is anchored by the Pleasantview Cem in the northeast, while the rural economy remains tied to the land, evidenced by the extensive network of numbered and lettered routes, such as 390th Ave and EE Rd, that provide access to the undulating fields and creek beds of Tomcat Cr.
