About this map

Plevna serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Reno County, where the iron rails of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad bisect the northern plains. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the North Fork S Ninnescah River, which meanders through the central sections, influenced by a high water table evidenced by a Flowing Well and several marshy depressions.

Rural life in the early 1970s is anchored by localized landmarks such as the Hazen Park Camp and the Clark Community Club. Genealogists will find several burial sites including Hazen Cem, Plevna Cem, Langdon Cem, and Bainum Cem, which mark the history of the surrounding townships of Sylvia, Hayes, and Grove. The presence of a Booster Station and extensive Pipeline networks suggests the significance of energy infrastructure alongside traditional ranching and farming operations.
