2011 Map of Wauneta West

About this map

Frenchman Creek meanders through the heart of this High Plains landscape, marking the primary topographical feature in an area otherwise defined by the systematic grid of rural roads. To the east, the edge of Wauneta appears along the valley floor, where the confluence of local routes like W Wichita St and Old 6 meet the township boundaries. The presence of Riverside Cemetery overlooking the creek valley provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing Chase County roots. The map illustrates the 2011 transition from traditional named highways to the numbered section-line system, such as 342 Ave and 735 Rd, which facilitate the region's agricultural transport. This survey reflects the enduring spatial organization of Nebraska's farming communities, where settlement patterns remain closely tied to the available water of the creek corridor.
