1978 Map of Allison

About this map

The North Fork Solomon River meanders across this landscape, defining the topography of the Decatur Co Sheridan Co boundary during the late 1970s. This agricultural and industrial region is characterized by an active Oil Field and numerous extraction sites, including a Sandpit and several Gravel Pits. The small settlement of Allison sits in the northeast, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural townships. Local heritage is rooted in landmarks like the McGraw Ch and Adell Cem, which provide essential points of reference for genealogists tracing family histories in these Kansas plains. The map illustrates the 20th-century transition of the area, where traditional farming coexists with a network of wells and resource extraction sites that shaped the local economy.
