2018 Map of WaKeeney West

About this map

WaKeeney sits at the southern edge of this West Kansas landscape, where the local street grid transitions into the expansive section lines of the High Plains. To the north, the terrain is defined by the drainage of the Saline River and its northern fork, which carve subtle relief into the prairie near Hay Hollow. The agricultural heritage of the region is evident in the preservation of the Saline Valley Cem, a key genealogical landmark located in the northern reaches of the quadrangle. Transportation corridors dictate the modern layout of the area, centered on the east-west passage of Old Hwy 40 and the infrastructure of the Trego WaKeeney Airport. Small tributaries like Trego Cr weave through the central sections, illustrating the natural water sources that have supported Trego County ranching and farming operations for generations.
