Cheney Reservoir dominates the northern landscape of this region, where the borders of Reno, Kingman, and Sedgwick counties converge. The reservoir, formed by the impoundment of the North Fork Ninnescah River, has fundamentally reshaped the local geography, creating a recreation-focused shoreline marked by the Cheney Lake Main Trail and Lakeshore Dr. South of the water, the terrain transitions into a structured agricultural grid punctuated by small settlements and historic landmarks. The community of Mount Vernon is situated near the reservoir's edge, supported by the nearby Mount Vernon Cem and Saint Rose Cem. Further south, the town of Cheney serves as a local hub, featuring a dense residential street plan and the Cheney Pioneer Cem. This area maintains its rural character through features like Albers Airport and numerous seasonal waterways including Smoots Creek and Nester Cr.
