About this map

WaKeeney sits at the southern edge of this West Kansas landscape, where the residential grid meets the open plains of Trego County. The map details the transition from the town's named streets, such as Junction Ave and N Railroad Ave, to the vast agricultural sections defined by a systematic road network of lettered routes like B Rd and J Rd. The Trego WaKeeney Airport serves as a modern anchor near the municipal boundary, while the historic Old Hwy 40 traces a path parallel to the modern interstate corridor.

To the north, the terrain becomes more varied as the N Fork Saline River cuts through the prairie. This northern reach contains notable markers for local history, including the Saline Valley Cem and the distinct depression of Hay Hollow. The land is meticulously partitioned into townships, specifically t11s r24w and t12s r23w, illustrating the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in organizing the High Plains.
