2022 Map of Cedar Bluff

About this map

Cedar Bluff Reservoir dominates the landscape of this Trego County survey, created by the impoundment of the Smoky Hill River. The map reveals the dramatic geography of the western plains, specifically the prominent limestone escarpment known as Cedar Bluff and the narrow passage of Cedar Gorge situated on the southern shore. This era of the reservoir's history is defined by a rigid grid of rural infrastructure, including AA Rd and 260 Ave, which cross the high ground above the water. Small drainages like Page Cr feed into the lake, illustrating the complex hydrography that shapes the central Kansas plains. The layout of the road network provides a clear view of land division and access points to the reservoir’s many inlets and fingers.
