2016 Map of Lexington

About this map

The small community of Lexington serves as the focal point of this southwestern Kansas landscape, situated along the border of Clark and Comanche Counties. The settlement pattern is defined by a traditional sectional grid, where routes like Old Hwy 34 and Cemetery Rd provide access to the rural homesteads. This area is characterized by a complex drainage network, with Bluff Cr winding across the southern sections while Cavalry Cr and Nichols Cr carve northward through the terrain. Genealogists and local researchers will find the Lexington Cem north of the main settlement, a primary landmark for tracing family roots in this corner of the state. The convergence of numerous named waterways, including Lone Tree Cr and Buzzard Cr, illustrates the hydrological importance of the region's draws and creek beds to the local agricultural economy.
