1968 Map of Belvidere

About this map

Belvidere sits at a strategic bend where the Medicine Lodge River meets the tracks of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, serving as the central hub of this Kiowa County landscape. The valley floor is defined by the river’s winding course, flanked by the Belvidere Cem and industrial markings such as a Gravel Pit and various quarries. North of the river, the terrain rises into the rolling uplands of Springvale, dissected by numerous watercourses including Spring Creek, Soldier Creek, and Thompson Branch.
