2015 Map of Woods

About this map

The small settlement of Woods sits at the intersection of local routes in this portion of Southwest Kansas, just west of the Stevens Co Seward Co boundary line. This 2015 survey illustrates a landscape dominated by the Public Land Survey System, where a rigid grid of rural roads like Co Rd 9 and Wettstein Rd defines the agricultural and ranching parcels. The terrain is marked by subtle depressions and the distinctive nomenclature of the High Plains, where naming conventions often follow the alphabet or local families, as seen with Rd M and Marteney. For local historians, the map provides a clear picture of the modern road infrastructure and land divisions that have sustained this prairie community into the twenty-first century.
