Almost all of the streams in the county flow in
south-easterly direction. Springs are abundant,
and we'll water is reached at average depth Of
about ten feet in the bottoms Well water in the
eastern and northern portions of the county is al
most uniformly good and nearly or quite soft.
The county has four lines of railroad within
its borders; three owned and operated by the
Santa Fe and one owned and operated by the
Missouri Pacific. One line of the Santa Fee enters
the county on the eastern side, and running west
passes through Sharon and on to Medicine Lodge
at present the terminus of the line. This is known
the Medicine Lodge branch Another line of
the Santa Fe enters the county about the middle
on the eastern side and running in Southwestern
ly course, passes through Hazelton and Kiowa, on
through Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico to
junction with the Southern Pacific, and is known
the Southern Kansas Division of the Santa Fe
The other line of the Santa Fe in the county is
known as the Mulvane Extension (or Englewood
Branch); this line runs through the northeast
corner of the county for few miles, and OH it is
located the thriving town of Isabel. The Mis-
souri, Pacific line enters the county from the east
in the south part of the county and runs west and
present terminus.
In addition to the lines above noted is the
Denver, Kansas q Gulf Railway now building
through the county from Kowa, in the southeast
part of the county, up the Medicine Lodge river
valley to the northwest corner of the county,
thence to Dodge City. Another projected line of
railroad, and for which the final survey has been
made, is the Great Bend & Gulf which enters the
county on the north side and runs almost due
south to Medicine Lodge.
