2018 Map of Fort Riley NE

About this map

Vinton Cem and Shanks Cem are preserved in the central and southern reaches of this Kansas landscape, serving as significant markers for local genealogical research. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including the branching paths of Threemile Cr, Sevenmile Cr, and Wildcat Cr. These waterways carve through the region, dictating the placement of early travel routes like the Governor-Harvey-Canyon Rd. The presence of the Vinton School Rd suggests the historical locations of rural educational centers that once served the families of Riley and Geary counties. The map reflects a rural economy where the grid of sections is intersected by older roads such as First Division Rd, showing how the land was partitioned and utilized near the military reservation boundary.
