Reading sections near WaKeeney

Old names and overlapping districts in Trego County
Older deeds near WaKeeney may name a township differently than today's Trego County records, so compare the legal description too. Road maintenance questions near Voda depend on whether a road is a state, county or local road, so ask the county highway office if you're unsure.
