2009 Map of Preston

About this map

The town of Preston serves as the primary hub in this portion of Pratt County, defined by its traditional grid centered on Main St. The surrounding landscape is characterized by a precise system of section-line roads, including NE 100th St and SE 70th Ave, reflecting the enduring agricultural layout of the High Plains. Natural drainage is shaped by the North Fork Ninnescah River, which meanders across the northwestern corner of the quadrangle. Smaller rural points of interest like Neola and the quiet presence of the Haynesville Cemetery and Friendship Cemetery provide essential markers for genealogists and local historians tracing family ties and vanished homesteads in this region. The map captures the area in a state of late-twentieth-century stability, where modern transportation corridors follow the same paths established by early settlers.
