2012 Map of Cairo

About this map

The S Fork Ninnescah River meanders across this Pratt County landscape, anchoring a rural district defined by small settlements and energy production. The community of Cairo serves as a central point near the river's path, while the small settlement of Waldeck sits further west. This area represents a classic Kansas agricultural and industrial mix, where the section-line road grid organizes both traditional farmsteads and active extraction sites like the Barnes Southwest Oil Field. Local history is preserved at the Cairo Cem, situated just south of the primary east-west corridor. Smaller waterways such as Coon Cr and Silver Cr drain the northern and southern plains, carving subtle variations into the prairie terrain between the dispersed homesteads.
