2022 Map of Keene

About this map

The unincorporated community of Keene serves as the focal point of this Kansas landscape, where the prairie is dissected by an intricate network of creeks and named drainages. Located in Wabaunsee County, the terrain is defined by the headwaters and branches of Mission Cr and the S Br Wakarusa River. Local genealogy is anchored by the Keene Cem and Mission View Cem, which sit among a grid of section-line roads with evocative names like Military Trail Rd and Missile Base Rd. The presence of Wildcat Hollow and numerous watercourses like Snokomo Cr and Nehring Cr illustrates the typical Flint Hills transition, where upland grazing land meets the fertile, timbered bottoms of the creek valleys.
