About this map

Boise City serves as the focal point of this High Plains landscape, situated just north of the meandering North Canadian River. The town layout is clearly defined by its civic core, featuring the Courthouse, City Hall, and a local Library. A developed residential and commercial grid includes several named thoroughfares such as Adams St and Munson St, while the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line cuts a diagonal path through the community, underscoring its historical role as a regional transit hub.

Agricultural and industrial activity is evidenced by numerous wells scattered across the open terrain, particularly within the Cleveland area. To the south, the riverbed shows a notable Sandpit, reflecting the local extraction economy. The map provides a detailed view of mid-century infrastructure, from the Boise City Cem on the outskirts to the Golf Course and High Sch that supported the town's social life during the late 1960s.
