2018 Map of Wolf

About this map

Agricultural development in western Kansas is defined by the critical water infrastructure and rectilinear road grid shown in this recent survey. The landscape is dominated by the Great Eastern Ditch and Farmers Ditch, which cut across the prairie to provide essential irrigation for the surrounding fields. These man-made watercourses run parallel to the southern boundary, following the natural contours of the land even as the road system enforces a strict section-line hierarchy. The small settlements of Wolf, Peterson, and Ritchal are spaced along W Lowe Rd, highlighting the historic importance of east-west transit corridors in this region.
