About this map

Collyer serves as the primary settlement on this High Plains survey, positioned along the central transportation corridor of Trego County. The town site is anchored by significant local landmarks including the Saint Michael's Cem and the Union Cem, providing a clear focal point for genealogical research in the western Kansas landscape. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of the Saline River in the north and the intermittent courses of Coyote Cr and Trego Cr to the south.

Transportation history is visible through the alignment of Old Hwy 40 and the railroad, which runs parallel to the highway through the small station point at Voda. The map reveals a strict section-line road grid—labeled alphabetically from B RD to J RD—that dictates the agricultural layout of the region. This 2022 survey captures the enduring rural character of the Kansas prairie, where small-town clusters remain central to the surrounding ranching and farming sections.
