About this map

WaKeeney sits at the southwestern edge of this High Plains landscape, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural country in Trego County. The map details a transition from the town’s residential grid—anchored by streets like N 13th St and Junction Ave—to the expansive drainage systems of the north. Significant local history is preserved at the Kansas Veterans Cem at WaKeeney and the WaKeeney City Cem, reflecting the community’s long-standing roots.

Flowing eastward across the northern half of the sheet, the Saline River draws numerous tributaries including Chalk Cr and Happy Cr. This network of draws and creeks, such as Spring Cr which meanders toward the town, defines the topographic relief of the region. The map also documents the alignment of Old Hwy 40 and the established rural road system, from B Rd to J Rd, that facilitates movement through these wide-open townships.
