About this map

Xenia sits at the heart of this high plains landscape, situated along the diagonal path of Us-34 E. This rural corner of Washington County is defined by a rigid grid of section-line roads, including Co Road V and Co Road 42, which carve the prairie into precise agricultural and resource-rich blocks. The presence of the Xenia Oil Field southwest of the settlement suggests the local economic reliance on energy extraction in addition to traditional ranching and farming.

The terrain is largely level but for the prominent rise of Fremont Butte in the north, a significant local landmark that overlooks the surrounding plains. Nearby, the winding depression of Twentytwo Slough provides a rare break in the geometric road network, indicating where seasonal water flow or drainage patterns shaped the land long before the establishment of the township and range survey lines.
