1978 Map of Chardon

About this map

Chardon serves as the primary landmark in this late-1970s survey of the High Plains, situated among the townships of Logan, Atwood, Mikesell, Arbor, Grant, and Clinton. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the North Fork Sappa Creek, which carves intricate drainage patterns through the surrounding tablelands. Local genealogical interests are represented by the Chardon Cem, located just north of the town site along the main north-south thoroughfare. The map also identifies a Roadside Park and several scattered well sites, reflecting the agricultural and rural infrastructure of Rawlins County during this period. The surveyor's data captures a moment before significant modern changes, preserving the spatial relationship between these small townships and the natural waterways that dictate the region's layout.
