What this tracks
This dataset maps the boundaries and details of USGS 24K topographic quadrangles (quads) covering Kansas.
Why it matters to you
If you’re planning outdoor activities like hiking, hunting, or land surveying in Kansas, this data helps you locate the right topographic map for your area. Knowing the QUADDATE (map year) tells you whether the terrain details are up-to-date for navigation. Farmers can check FIPS_C to confirm which county boundaries overlap with their land.
How to read this data
QUADNAME — The name of the quadrangle (e.g., “Guymon”), matching printed USGS maps.
QUADDATE — The year the map was published (e.g., 1979), indicating its vintage.
BOTTOM/TOP_/LEFT_/RIGHT_ — Latitude and longitude bounds (e.g., 36.5 to 37, -102 to -101) showing the quad’s coverage.
