About this map

Cheney Reservoir and the North Fork Ninnescah River dominate the northern landscape of this region, which was surveyed during a period of established energy extraction and recreational development. The infrastructure of the Cheney Dam regulates the water levels, while the surrounding land is divided between the agricultural grid and active industrial sites like the Bartholomew Oil Field and Casley Gas and Oil Field.

The town of Cheney sits in the southeast, serving as a local hub with its Cheney Post Office and nearby Cherry Oaks Golf Course. For those tracing local history or genealogy, the map identifies several distinct settlement pockets such as Mount Vernon and Saint Paul, along with the Mount Vernon Cemetery and Cheney Cemetery. Smaller aviation infrastructure is also visible at the Coombs Air Strip, reflecting the rural Kansas reliance on local flight paths and energy resources.
