1974 Map of Chandler

About this map

The city of Chandler serves as a hub of civic and industrial activity in the mid-1970s, defined by the intersection of traditional rail lines and modern high-speed transit. The St Louis-San Francisco railroad and an Old Railroad Grade trace the historical movement of goods, while the Turner Turnpike cuts a modern path across the landscape. Surrounding the urban center, a dense Oil Field is evidenced by numerous Oil Wells and Gas Wells, reflecting the region's energy economy. This survey documents the social fabric of Lincoln County through its many rural institutions, including Sweet Home Ch and several family-named burial grounds such as McCorkle Cem and Star Valley Cem. Water features like Chandler Lake and Bellcow Creek are mapped alongside essential infrastructure like the Armory and Courthouse, providing a detailed look at the county seat during a period of steady development.
