2018 Map of Hay Canyon

About this map

The Pawnee River meanders across this rural Finney County landscape, defining the local hydrology alongside Cottonwood Cr and Finney Lake. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain carved by Hay Canyon, where the High Plains topography is intersected by a grid of named section roads. These thoroughfares, such as N Tom Reed Rd, N Byler Rd, and N Renstrom Rd, often carry the names of local families, providing essential data for genealogists tracing property boundaries and ancestral homesteads in this part of western Kansas. The map captures a largely agricultural region where the distribution of water resources and the established Public Land Survey System determine the pattern of land use and transit.
