1974 Map of Cedar Bluff

About this map

The Butterfield (Approximate Overland Location) Trail cuts across the northern landscape of Trego County, marking the historic path of western migration and commerce through the Great Plains. This mid-1970s survey highlights a region dominated by the Cedar Bluff Reservoir, an impoundment of the Smoky Hill River that fundamentally altered the local topography. Along the reservoir's southern edge, the Cedar Bluff State Park (South Shore Area) provides a hub for recreation, complete with a Scout Camp, Picnic Area, and multiple campgrounds. Several locations are designated as State Game Management Area, indicating a focus on conservation and land use. Local history enthusiasts can trace the approximate locations of several Historical Marker sites, while the presence of a Sandpit reflects the small-scale industrial activities characteristic of the area during this era.
