1964 Map of Chapman

About this map

The Smoky Hill River winds through the heart of this Dickinson County landscape, carving a wide valley between the uplands of Hayes and Rinehart. The town of Chapman stands as a primary hub north of the river, where the Union Pacific railroad corridor meets the waters of Chapman Creek. Downstream and to the west, the settlements of Detroit and Enterprise mark the industrial and transport footprint of the mid-20th century, with the latter situated at a sharp bend in the river near the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific tracks.
