1957 Map of Carneiro

About this map

The Union Pacific railroad corridor anchors the northern reach of this mid-century Kansas survey, passing through the small community of Carneiro and near the Carneiro Cem. The landscape transitions from the upland drainage of Clear Creek and Thompson Creek toward the massive water management works to the southeast. Here, the Smoky Hill River feeds into the broad expanse of the Kanopolis Reservoir, a prominent feature that reshaped the local geography. Rural infrastructure is well-defined, with educational landmarks like School No 82 and Buckeye Sch serving the surrounding ranching and farming lands. The area's recreational and utility aspects are evidenced by the Girl Scout Camp and the Kanopolis Landing Field located along the reservoir's rugged shoreline at Yankee Run.
