2009 Map of Wolf NW

About this map

Campbell Draw and its tributaries carve a subtle network of intermittent drainages across this section of the High Plains in western Kansas. The landscape is defined by a rigid section-line grid of rural corridors, including the primary route Fas 1523 and several county roads such as Co Rd 3 and Co Rd 4. This 2009 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a sparse, agricultural environment where water features like James Draw and Crozier Draw provide the only natural breaks in the geometric arrangement of land. The arrangement of infrastructure, from Co RD Q to Co Rd 9, reflects the late-20th-century persistence of large-scale ranching and farming operations in Kearny County.
