2010 Map of Wakefield

About this map

Wakefield sits at the intersection of prairie agriculture and the expansive waters of Milford Lake in Clay County. This 2010 survey illustrates a landscape shaped by the Republican River, where the town's grid meets the shoreline near the Wakefield Municipal Airstrip. The surrounding rural landscape is defined by a precise section-line road network, including 7th Rd and Utah Rd, which provides access to outlying areas like the community of Bateham. Local history is anchored by sites such as Saint Johns Cemetery and Madura Cemetery, while the Clay County Lake Dam indicates the managed water systems central to this part of Kansas. Waterways like Cane Creek and Quimby Creek meander through the fields, highlighting the natural drainage patterns that have dictated farm placement for generations.
