1963 Map of Babbs

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Elk Creek meanders along the western edge of this Kiowa County landscape, while the St. Louis - San Francisco railroad cuts a sharp diagonal line from the northwest to the southeast. At the center of the survey lies Babbs, a small settlement positioned at the intersection of the rail line and the section roads. This mid-century view captures the transition of the rural economy, showing the presence of both a Gas Well and an Oil Well amidst the township of Otter Creek. Near the northern border, the Hobart Municipal Airport and Hobart Country Club indicate the outward expansion of the neighboring county seat. To the southwest, the terrain rises sharply at Camelback Mountain, providing a distinct topographical contrast to the more level agricultural fields and drainage patterns of West Otter Creek.
