About this map

The settlement of Oakley anchors this 2018 survey, situated at the junction of Logan, Thomas, and Gove counties in western Kansas. The town layout is clearly defined by a grid of streets including Kansas Ave, Colby Ave, and Freeman Ave, showing the late-modern residential and commercial footprint of this regional hub. To the north of the town center, the landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of the N Fork Saline River and S Fork Saline River, which cut through the high plains terrain.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Oakley Cem and Saint Joseph Cem on the northern outskirts of the community. The map also records the rural road network, with numbered county roads such as Co Rd 412 and Co Rd E providing access to the surrounding agricultural sections. The interaction of these drainage basins with the modern township reveals the enduring importance of water sources in the development of the Kansas prairie.
