1950 Map of Alida

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

The Republican River meanders through the northeast corner of this landscape, flanked by the Union Pacific railroad and the rural community of Alida. This mid-century survey captures a classic Kansas agricultural setting defined by a network of rural school districts and family cemeteries that anchored early settlement. Features such as the Alida School, Tell School, and Good Hope School District 42 reveal the localized structure of education before district consolidation. The topography transitions from the alluvial plains of the river valley toward the prominent elevations of Fragrant Hill and Smoky Hill to the south. Local landmarks like Ritter Airport and various reservoirs illustrate the early post-war development of infrastructure and water management across the Dickinson and Geary County line.
