2009 Map of Wolf SW

About this map

James Draw and Mattox Draw define the seasonal drainage patterns across this section of the High Plains in western Kansas. The landscape is organized by a rigorous section-line road grid typical of the region's agricultural development, with routes such as Co Rd 14, Co Rd 16, and Co Rd 18 facilitating travel between remote farmsteads. The presence of West St and the designated Fas 1523 arterial suggests a transition toward more established local infrastructure. This 2009 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey utilizes data from the National Hydrography Dataset and the National Transportation Dataset to record the essential water and transport networks that sustain the rural economy in this part of Kearny County.
