2012 Map of WaKeeney West

About this map

The high plains of Trego County center on the intersection of modern transit and prairie watercourses in this 2012 survey. WaKeeney sits at the nexus of the regional transportation network, where the historic Old Hwy 40 and Golden Belt Rd run parallel to the modern interstate corridor. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Trego Cr and the Saline River, which carves through the northern reaches of the quadrangle near Hay Hollow. Local history and genealogy are anchored by two significant burial grounds: the Salina Valley Cem in the north and the WaKeeney City Cem on the southeastern edge of the settlement. The map documents contemporary land use including the Trego WaKeeney Airport and the WaKeeney Kampgrounds of America, illustrating the town's role as a key stopover for travelers on the Great Plains.
