2009 Map of Cheyenne Creek

About this map

The Smoky Hill River winds across the northern reaches of this Kansas landscape, defining a drainage system that includes Cheyenne Creek and the various branches of Salt Creek. This 2009 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures a sparsely populated region of Lane County characterized by an expansive network of rural county roads. The intersection of Gove C and Dodge Rd anchors the northwestern corner, while State Hwy 23 provides the primary north-south transit corridor along the eastern edge. The topography is defined by the subtle valleys of West Salt Creek and East Salt Creek, illustrating the intricate water-carved patterns typical of the High Plains. This map is an essential reference for understanding the modern rural infrastructure and natural hydrology of the area before subsequent land use changes.
