2009 Map of Wheeler

About this map

Wheeler serves as the primary settlement hub in this northwestern Kansas landscape, situated near the intersection of several county routes and a rail line. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of the South Fork Republican River and its numerous tributaries, including Cleveland Run and Plum Cr. The map reveals a highly structured agricultural grid, where roads like Co Rd U and Co Rd 19 trace the section lines typical of the High Plains. A significant point of interest for genealogists and local historians is the Barley Cemetery in the northeastern portion of the quadrangle, located near Delay Creek. This 2009 survey highlights the enduring rural layout of Cheyenne County, where small watercourses like Bluff Creek and Valley Creek provide the only natural breaks in the geometric field patterns.
