2010 Map of Woods SW

About this map

Stevens County agriculture is defined by the rigid grid of section-line roads in this 2010 survey of the High Plains. This landscape in southwest Kansas is organized into vast rectangular tracts, connected by a network of alphanumeric thoroughfares including H Rd and C Rd. The map illustrates the intensive land-use patterns common in this part of the state, where the geography is dictated more by legal boundaries and surveying than by natural landmarks. Local transit and farm access rely on North-South routes such as Rd 20 and Rd 24, as well as East-West connectors like E Rd and B Rd. This systematic layout reveals the persistent heritage of the Public Land Survey System, which continues to shape the economic and social geography of the region into the 21st century.
