2022 Map of Cheney SE

About this map

The South Fork Ninnescah River meanders across this landscape, defining the transition between Kingman and Sedgwick counties. Small farming settlements and historical burial grounds are interspersed among the section lines of this rural Kansas interior. To the north, the outskirts of Cheney sit near Fairview Cem, while the small cluster of Lansdowne and Vinita Cem occupy the northwestern corner. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of drainage systems, including Smoots Cr, Fish Cr, and Jocelyn Cr, which feed into the primary river valley. For local historians, the placement of Mount Pleasant Cem in the southwestern quadrant provides a specific point of reference for early rural communities that relied on the fertile bottomlands of the Ninnescah and its numerous tributaries.
