About this map

The settlement of Woods anchors this Stevens County landscape, where the High Plains terrain is meticulously partitioned by a rectilinear grid of section roads. This 2012 survey illustrates the enduring agricultural structure of the region, defined by long stretches of thoroughfares such as Hamlin Rd and Co Road R. The mapping of these routes, including the numbered system of Road 11 and Road 6, provides a clear view of the rural settlement patterns and property divisions typical of southwest Kansas.

Further south, the community of Pleasant Valley appears near the intersection of several significant local arteries. This era of the map captures the region's dependence on its roadway network, linking isolated farmsteads and agricultural hubs. From Co Road A to the northern boundary at 5mi Rd, the map is a precise record of the land-use legacy in a territory where the vastness of the prairie is organized through disciplined surveying and engineering.
