2022 Map of Wanette

About this map

The Wanette townsite sits on the high ground north of the Canadian River, serving as a central hub for the surrounding rural sections of Pottawatomie and McClain counties. This modern survey illustrates a landscape defined by its riparian drainage systems, where Hog Cr and Bond Cr flow toward the river's broad floodplain. For genealogists and local historians, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of multiple burial sites, including the Wanette Cem and the distinct Old Johnsonville Cem and New Johnsonville Cem located to the south. The terrain transitioning from the river banks to the uplands is marked by significant water features such as the Gallup Ranch Reservoir and the winding course of Canadian Sandy Cr. A dense network of section-line roads, including Rush Rd and Skinner Rd, provides precise orientation for those tracing historic property boundaries and family homesteads.
