2016 Map of Cheyenne Wells

About this map

Cheyenne Wells stands as the primary seat of activity on this high plains landscape, organized around a geometric grid of streets like N 1st St W and S 1st St E. The town serves as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural community, where the drainage of the Smoky Hill River and various branches of Ladder Cr define the subtle topography. Just south of the main settlement, the Fairview Cem provides a point of interest for genealogists tracing local families in Cheyenne County. Transportation is central to the area's layout, anchored by the Windy Plains Airport to the east and a network of section-line roads such as Co RD S and Co RD Q that facilitate movement across the vast township divisions. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent importance of water management in a semi-arid region, shown through the winding courses of Willow Cr and N Fork Ladder Cr.
