Looking for places to hunt around Junction City? A useful Geary County hunting map combines two sources: where public access exists, and who owns everything else. In this Geary County guide: state sources for public ground, how to read private parcel lines, and how to ask for permission.
Getting started with the Geary County hunting map
If the land is near Wreford, public hunting areas are mapped by Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, with rules that vary by area.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Begin with the Geary County parcel viewer; it includes each assessed parcel from Grandview Plaza to Fort Riley. For a tract near Grandview Plaza, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. For a tract near Grandview Plaza, write down the parcel ID while you have it open; every clerk in the county will want it.
Backing up the map with records
When the details count, request the recorded deed from the Register of Deeds; the parcel line is a drawing of it, for land near Junction City included. For acreage around Grandview Plaza, bring the book and page from the tax record to skip a name search.
Which office to call

Private land and parcel lines

How land is described here

Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though corrections make some sections near Milford odd-sized. Write down the legal description for the tract near Junction City for any title or survey request.
Asking for permission
If the land is near Wreford, offer details: who you are, when you'd hunt and how to reach you, and respect a no.
Reading terrain
On the aerial around Wreford, look for field edges, creek bottoms and timber lines; match each spot to its parcel.
Before you go
Check Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks for seasons and licensing, and know your state's trespass rules wherever you hunt near Wreford.

What the map can't tell you
