2018 Map of Wayne

About this map

Agricultural lands and seasonal waterways define this portion of North Central Kansas at the boundary of Republic Co and Cloud Co. The landscape is anchored by the small community of Wayne and the nearby settlement of Talmo, both of which serve as nodes in a network of section-line roads and named rural lanes like Wayne Ln and Talmo Ln. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its documentation of several well-distributed burial grounds, including Frontier Cem in the north and Hollis Cem in the south, which often represent the early pioneer families of the township. Drainage follows the subtle topography of the Great Plains, with Salt Cr, Coal Cr, and Turkey Cr carving gentle valleys through the wheat and corn fields. Historical pathways like Salt Creek Trl and Zion Trl indicate the persistence of older routes within the modern grid system.
