2012 Map of Waukena

About this map

The settlement of Waukena anchors the southeast corner of this Central Valley survey, reflecting a landscape dominated by industrial-scale agriculture and water management. Large-scale dairy operations, including the Kansas Holstein Dairy, Phil Vannette Dairy, and Caetano Dairy, define the local economy alongside the River Ranch to the north. This grid-based terrain is bisected by a complex network of seasonal waterways and irrigation channels, most notably the meandering paths of Cross Cr and Guernsey Slough. Local history is anchored by established landmarks such as the Aurora School and Lakeside Cem, while a precise network of named avenues and roads, from Jersey Ave down to Nevada Ave, provides a detailed view of the rural property divisions and transit corridors used by these large ranching estates.
