1969 Map of Burlington NE

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Landsman Creek and Bonny Creek carve a series of subtle drainages across this high plains landscape of Kit Carson County, just prior to the turn of the 1970s. The map illustrates a rural environment defined by its agricultural layout and resource management, evidenced by numerous wells scattered across the township grid. A notable local landmark, the Emerson School, sits centrally within this landscape, serving as a social and educational anchor for the surrounding farmsteads. To the east, the Kansas State Line marks the jurisdictional boundary, where the prairie begins its transition into the neighboring state. Small-scale industrial activity is present in the form of several Gravel Pits, often situated near the creek beds where alluvial deposits provided necessary materials for local road improvements.
