2017 Map of Daykin

About this map

Daykin serves as the central hub of this Jefferson County landscape, where the town plat follows a precise grid including Jefferson St, Francis St, and Marie St. The surrounding countryside is defined by the section-line road network and the meandering courses of Little Sandy Creek and South Fork Swan Creek. This region, where the borders of Fillmore, Saline, Thayer, and Jefferson counties converge, maintains a strictly agricultural character. Local history is anchored by sites such as Saint Johns Cemetery east of town and Eureka Cemetery to the northwest, near the Saline County line. Further south, the small settlement of Helvey sits along 564th Ave, illustrating the sparse but persistent distribution of rural communities in the plains.
