Stickney is an unincorporated area in Wheatland Township, Barton County, Kansas, United States. It is the site of a grain elevator, but there is no community or settlement at Stickney.[1]
A post office opened at Stickney in 1898 and remained in operation until 1913.[2]
Stickney is 1miles east of U.S. Route 281 and 19miles north of Great Bend, the county seat.[3]
Stickney lies roughly 1.5miles east of Sellens Creek, a tributary of the Smoky Hill River, in the Smoky Hills region of the Great Plains.[3] [4]
Stickney lies at the intersection of NW 190 Road, a paved east–west county road, and NW 30 Avenue, an unpaved north–south county road.[3]
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway formerly operated a freight rail line that ran east–west through Stickney, but the line has since been removed.[3]
