1969 Map of Burlington

About this map

Burlington is mapped here as a developing hub of Kit Carson County, organized around the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad and the adjacent corridor of West Burlington. The town's civic character is defined by its concentrated infrastructure, including the Burlington Rodeo Ground, a Municipal Airport, and the High Sch. The landscape is etched by several seasonal watercourses such as Bonny Creek, Beaver Creek, and Sand Creek, which cut through the high plains terrain. Beyond the residential grid of streets like Lowell Ave and Rose Ave, the map reveals the local economy through scattered Gravel Pits and agricultural features. This survey preserves the exact layout of the community before later interstate expansion further altered the traditional rail-oriented footprint of the town.
