About this map

The South Fork Ninnescah River meanders across this rural section of Pratt County, anchoring a landscape shaped by both hydrology and the rigid section lines of the Public Land Survey System. The small settlement of Cairo serves as a local focal point near the southern riverbanks, complemented by the nearby Cairo Cem which provides a critical site for genealogical research in this portion of Kansas.

Further west, the community of Waldeck occupies a position along the northern banks of the river. The surrounding plains are drained by several tributaries, including Silver Cr to the north and Coon Cr to the south. This survey documents the modern road network, defined by routes such as Co RD 25 and Ne 5th ST, illustrating the persistent grid of agricultural development and local connectivity in the early 21st century.
