2009 Map of Heinzelman Canyon

About this map

The South Fork Republican River cuts through this northwestern Kansas landscape, creating a network of drainage systems characterized by a high density of named canyons. In this corner of Cheyenne County, the terrain is defined by dramatic landforms such as Heinzelman Canyon and Hells Canyon, which feed into the larger river valley. These features often bear the names of early local settlers or landowners, such as Will Stafford Canyon, Dave Harvey Canyon, and Arnold Harvey Canyon, offering a geographical record of family history in the region. The map also reveals the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, with a grid of county roads like Co RD BB and Co RD DD providing access to the higher plains between the creek beds of Hackberry Creek and Bluff Creek.
