About this map

The Red Hills dominate this section of Comanche County, where a complex network of prairie streams carves through the Kansas landscape. The drainage pattern is led by Mule Creek, which receives numerous tributaries including Jim Creek, Dunlap Creek, and Skelton Creek as they flow southward. This topography is further defined by features like Baker Canyon, illustrating the erosional forces that shaped this portion of the Gypsum Hills region.

Transportation in this area is centered on the connection between rural outposts, evidenced by the presence of Sun City Rd and its predecessor, Old Sun City Rd. These routes, along with State Highway 160, follow the natural contours of the land, crossing seasonal waterways such as Horse Creek and Walnut Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the watershed as it appeared in the early 21st century, showing how modern infrastructure continues to navigate the same drainage basins used since early settlement.
