1974 Map of Castle Rock
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
Butterfield Overland Trail fragments stretch across this section of Gove County, marking a nineteenth-century stagecoach route that once connected the central United States to California. The landscape is defined by the carved limestone pillars of Castle Rock, a prominent natural landmark that served as a navigational beacon for travelers and early explorers. This mid-1970s survey illustrates the rural character of western Kansas, where the Smoky Hill River and Hackberry Cr provide the primary drainage through the high plains.
