About this map

Ogallah sits at the northern edge of this high plains landscape in Trego County, serving as a focal point for a region defined by its orderly section-line road network and intermittent watercourses. The township is characterized by the convergence of prominent local routes including Oak St, K Rd, and L Rd, which facilitate movement across the agricultural terrain. To the south, the community of Riga and the prominent landmark of Round Mound rise above the drainage basins of Big Cr and Spring Cr.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of rural burial sites, such as the Ogallah Cem near the northern settlement and the Emanuel Lutheran Cem located further south along the range line. The map illustrates the persistent structure of the Public Land Survey System, with clearly marked boundaries for t12s r22w, t12s r21w, and neighboring townships, showing how the land was partitioned for homesteading and development.
