1964 Map of Abilene
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
The Abilene city center serves as the hub of this mid-century Kansas landscape, characterized by its dense grid of schools like Garfield Sch and public landmarks such as the Eisenhower Center. This 1964 field-checked map illustrates a critical crossroads for American rail, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe, Union Pacific, and Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroads all converge near the heart of town. Beyond the residential core, the geography is defined by the winding path of the Smoky Hill River to the south, bordered by community sites like Brown Memorial Park and the Brown Memorial Home. Small outlying settlements such as Detroit and Enterprise are shown connected by the river valley and rail lines, while aviation is represented by both the Abilene Airport and the smaller Wright Airpark.
