Looking for places to hunt around Coronado? A useful Wichita County hunting map combines two sources: state-managed land plus the county's parcel boundaries. What this Wichita County guide covers: where public hunting land is mapped, how to read private parcel lines, and how to ask for permission.
Getting started with the Wichita County hunting map
If the land is near Lydia, start with Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks for public areas, with rules that vary by area.
The free map to start with
Parcels around Coronado appear on the ORKA parcel viewer, free to use and open without a login. For a parcel near Coronado, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. If you're looking near Marienthal, copy the parcel ID while you have it open; every office in the county uses it to find the file.
Recorded documents worth pulling
For land near Marienthal, the map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements for parcels in the county are kept by the Register of Deeds. With a lot near Marienthal, bring the book and page shown in the record panel and the lookup takes minutes.
Scouting from the aerial
On the aerial around Selkirk, look for field edges, creek bottoms and timber lines; match each spot to its parcel.
Getting answers from the right desk
For assessment questions about property around Marienthal belong with the County Appraiser, the office behind the parcel record. Building or septic questions for a lot near Coronado go to planning, building or health offices, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Who owns the ground
Parcel lines are approximate, so stay well inside them near Leoti; watch for posted signs and boundary paint where states use them.
Before you lean on the lines
If the land is near Leoti, the acreage figure is an estimate; just a licensed surveyor sets the real boundary on the ground. Out toward Lydia, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
Being a good guest
Leave gates as you found them on land near Lydia, and carry the owner's contact info; it keeps permission coming back.
How land is described here
Kansas uses the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Marienthal is described by section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though corrections make some sections near Marienthal odd-sized. Keep the legal description for land near Leoti before you request a deed or survey.
Neighboring parcel maps
Wichita County touches Greeley County, Hamilton County, Kearny County, Logan County, and Scott County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Ground near Selkirk that runs to the line may be split in two county records, so look at the adjacent map as well. If the land is near Selkirk, the Platbookmapper state page links every bordering county map across Kansas.
Getting a yes
The parcel record near Leoti gives the owner and a mailing address; reach out well before the season.
Staying legal
Seasons, licenses and trespass laws are set by the state, and trespass rules differ by state for land around Leoti.
Using it on a phone
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near Coronado, so load it before you lose signal. A saved image of the lot near Leoti and its lines is a good backup.
Places you'll see on the map
Leoti serves as the county seat, home to the main records offices. Smaller places on the map include Coronado, Lydia, Marienthal, and Selkirk. About 2,082 people live in Wichita County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) spread over about 719 square miles. Wichita County dates to 1886, and some chains of title near Selkirk are long.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
