About this map

The Red Hills rise across this section of southern Kansas, where the border between Comanche and Barber counties meets. This landscape is defined by a dendritic network of drainage creeks including Mule Cr, Horse Cr, and Walnut Cr, which carve through the distinct red Permian rock of the region. The map reveals the deeply etched Baker Canyon in the southwest, contrasting with the more open drainage basins of Skelton Cr and Dunlap Cr to the north.

Agricultural and ranching activity is evidenced by the strict grid of rural roads such as Sun City Rd, Ave E, and Rd J. These corridors link the dispersed homesteads and grazing lands that characterize this part of the Gypsum Hills. The intricate contour lines illustrate the transition from high grazing plateaus to the narrow, wooded riparian zones of the creek bottoms, providing a clear picture of the land use and topography in this rural corridor.
