2018 Map of Yocemento

About this map

Yocemento serves as the focal point of this western Kansas landscape, situated along the corridor of Old Hwy 40. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Big Creek, which snakes through the southern half of the quadrangle. North of the creek, a prominent ridge known as Hog Back rises between the water and the straight-line grid of rural thoroughfares such as Catherine Rd and Emmeram Rd. The map illustrates a high-plains agricultural environment where section lines dictate the movement of travelers and the placement of homesteads.
