2012 Map of Ogallah

About this map

Ogallah serves as the focal point of this western Kansas landscape, situated where Old Us Hwy 40 and modern transportation corridors cross the High Plains. The map reveals a rural structure defined by section-line roads like Cemetery Rd and Riga Rd, which connect the small settlement of Riga to the surrounding agricultural land. Watercourses such as Spring Cr and Big Cr carve subtle drainages across the terrain, providing essential natural landmarks in an otherwise open prairie environment. Genealogy and local history are anchored by sites such as Oglala Cem north of the main settlement and Emanuel Lutheran Cem in the southwestern quadrant. The prominent landmark of Round Mound stands as a distinct topographical feature, reflecting the traditional naming conventions used by early settlers to navigate this expanse of Trego County.
