2012 Map of Woods NW

About this map

Stevens County agriculture and high-plains topography are captured in this 2012 survey of the Woods NW region. The landscape is defined by the strict rectilinear grid of the Jeffersonian survey system, where north-south routes like 4mi Rd and 6mi Rd intersect east-west thoroughfares such as 5mi Rd and 1st St. This network of rural roads serves a sparsely populated area primarily dedicated to large-scale farming, typical of the Kansas panhandle region. The map tracks subtle local nomenclature where numbered roads transition into named streets, including the junction of Road 20 and Road 18. While the terrain is relatively level, the presence of isolated structures along corridors like Co Road R provides specific points of interest for those studying the 21st-century rural footprint of southwest Kansas.
