2017 Map of Western

About this map

Western serves as the primary hub of this agricultural landscape in Saline County, where a strictly ordered grid of county roads defines the movement across the prairie. The town center is concentrated around W Sumner St and S Bradshaw St, housing the local Po and central services. The surrounding countryside reveals a strong genealogical record, with several burial grounds such as Union Cem to the northwest and Plainview Cem just north of the village. The drainage of the land is dominated by the wandering paths of N Fork Swan Cr and Spring Cr, which break the geometric precision of the farm plots. In the northeast corner, the Kreshal Reservoir and Walnut Grove Cr provide distinct landmarks in an area otherwise characterized by systematic section lines and section corners.
