2022 Map of White Canyon

About this map

White Canyon and a series of neighboring drainage systems define this landscape in the high plains of Cheyenne County. Deeply incised canyons like Wilson Canyon, Trail Canyon, and Jackson Canyon carve the northern terrain, illustrating the dramatic erosion patterns typical of this region. The map reveals a sparse but organized settlement pattern governed by the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines like t1s r40w directing the placement of rural corridors such as Co RD BB and Parks Rd. A significant focal point for local history is Hackberry Cem, located near the banks of Hackberry Cr. To the south, the terrain levels slightly as drainage transitions toward Cleveland Run and Plum Cr, showing the essential relationship between water access and the layout of this western Kansas ranching and farming country.
