2018 Map of Cairo

About this map

The South Fork Ninnescah River meanders eastward through the center of this Pratt County landscape, defining the local geography between the small settlements of Cairo and Waldeck. Historically significant for local families and genealogists, the Cairo Cem sits just south of the river valley, marking a point of long-standing community connection. The terrain is characterized by the broad alluvial plain of the Ninnescah and its tributaries, including Coon Cr to the south and Silver Cr to the north. A grid of county roads, such as Co RD 25 and Co RD 26, provides a look at the organized land use and rural development of the late twenty-first century. This survey documents the intersection of natural watercourses and the established transport network that has sustained these small Kansas farming hubs for generations.
