1957 Map of Black Wolf

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Smoky Hill River flows through the southern portion of this Ellsworth County landscape, anchored by the small settlement of Black Wolf situated along the Union Pacific railroad line. The map reveals a rural expanse defined by major drainage systems, including Cow Creek and Buffalo Creek, which carve through the terrain as they move toward the river valley. Local life in the mid-20th century is marked by scattered spiritual and community landmarks like Excelsior Ch and the Pleasant Valley Cem. The upland areas are divided into historical townships such as Columbia, Sherman, and Black Wolf, while the northern border captures the line between Lincoln and Ellsworth counties. The arrival of modern infrastructure is evident in the path of highway 70 crossing the northern half of the sheet, signaling the transition from local rural roads to the interstate era.
