2018 Map of Wreford

About this map

Junction City anchors the northern edge of this Geary County landscape, situated where the Smoky Hill River winds through the tallgrass prairie. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages including Lyon Creek, Otter Cr, and Clarks Creek, which carve deep contours into the rolling hills south of the city. The small settlement of Wreford sits at a crossroads in the western portion of the sheet, reflecting the rural agricultural character of the region. Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds such as Skiddy Cem, Wetzel Cem, and Salchow Cem, often located near early transportation routes like Old Stage Rd. The abundance of named roads, including Kickapoo School Rd and Skiddy West Rd, indicates a long-established pattern of section-line travel and land division.
