2012 Map of Dighton

About this map

Dighton serves as the central hub of this Lane County landscape, where a precise grid of residential streets meets the open agricultural plains of western Kansas. The town’s civic and social infrastructure is well-defined, including the Lane County Fairgrounds, the local Post Office, and the Dighton Airport on the northwestern edge. This 2012 survey illustrates a landscape managed by a network of county roads, such as Kaw Rd and S Ogallalah Rd, which partition the territory into large sections for dryland farming. The natural drainage of the region is traced by the winding paths of S Fork Walnut Cr and Buffalo Cr, which carve subtle topography through the otherwise level prairie. Outside the town center, the Dighton Cem and the Dighton Wastewater Treatment Facility mark the furthest reaches of the settlement's footprint before the transition to expansive rural acreage.
