2018 Map of Selkirk

About this map

Selkirk and its surrounding agricultural plains define this portion of the High Plains on the border between Greeley and Wichita counties. The landscape is dominated by a grid-like network of rural roads, including Co RD O and Co RD 26, which facilitate the region's ranching and dryland farming economy. A central point of interest for local history is the Selkirk Cemetery, located just north of the town center. The ephemeral course of White Woman Creek meanders across the northern half of the survey area, providing one of the few natural breaks in the flat topography. This map represents the quiet persistence of small Western Kansas settlements in the early 21st century, where the township and range system established in the 19th century continues to dictate the local geography.
