About this map

Orlando and Wano townships define this section of the High Plains in Cheyenne County during the early 1980s. The landscape is characterized by a high density of water management features, with numerous Well sites and circular irrigation patterns marking the agricultural development of the region. Local history is anchored by Wheeler Cem in the north and St Pauls Cem to the south, providing clear points of reference for genealogical research. The drainage of Sand Creek cuts across the northwest corner, where industrial activity is noted at the Sandpits. This survey captures a moment when traditional land use in western Kansas intersected with increasing energy and resource extraction, evidenced by the presence of a Gas Well among the vast grid of section lines.
