2015 Map of Penokee

About this map

Penokee sits at the northern edge of this Graham County landscape, where the S Fork Solomon River winds eastward across the high plains. The settlement pattern is defined by the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System, with roads like Main St and River RD serving the local agricultural community. To the north, Rock Cr flows toward the Solomon, while the southern reaches are drained by the meandering Brush Cr and Jackson Br. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific locations of the Penokee Cem and Brush Creek Cem, which mark the generational ties of the area's residents. This 2015 study by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the quiet character of western Kansas, where the intersection of watercourses and township-range lines continues to dictate the local geography.
