2015 Map of Wetonka South

About this map

Wetonka stands at the northern edge of this landscape, marking a site of settlement in the Glacial Lake Agassiz region where the terrain is defined by numerous prairie potholes and small basins. The survey captures the rural character of the border between McPherson and Edmunds counties, where the township and range grid system dictates the local road network. North of the county line, the Long Lake Colony represents the distinct communal land-use patterns of the region, while landmarks like Wetonka Cemetery and Pembroke Cemetery provide fixed points for genealogical research. West of the townsite, Crompton Lake is one of the few named bodies of water in a territory dotted with unnamed depressions and intermittent wetlands, illustrating the drainage challenges of this high plains environment.
