About this map

Castleton serves as the primary settlement hub in this rural Kansas landscape, situated near the headwaters of the North Fork Ninnescah River. The terrain is defined by a dense grid of section roads and the meandering paths of waterways like Red Rock Cr and Crow Cr, which drain toward the large expanse of the Cheney Reservoir in the southeast. This contemporary survey illustrates the persistent agricultural layout of Reno County, where traditional land divisions remain the primary organizing principle for residency and transit.

Genealogists and local historians can locate long-standing community landmarks, including Saint Agnes Cem and Lone Star Cem, which provide tangible links to the area's early residents. The map documents the interface between the rolling plains and the reservoir's shoreline, particularly where Riverview Dr and Lakeside Ave reflect more recent development compared to the established rural thoroughfares like Mohawk Rd and Pretty Prairie Rd.
