1974 Map of Amy SE

About this map

Sutton Cem and a nearby Townhall sit atop the high plains in the northwestern reaches of this Kansas quadrangle, marking the center of local civic and family life during the mid-1970s. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainages of the S Fk Walnut Cr and Hackberry Creek, which carve subtle depressions across the agricultural terrain. Surveyed and field-checked just before publication in 1976, the map records the township boundaries of Blaine, Cleveland, and Garfield. Evidence of local excavation is found at the Caliche Pits, while the southern boundary highlights the transition between Lane County and Finney County. The map reveals a highly structured section-line road network characteristic of the Great Plains, supporting a sparse but organized rural community.
