1965 Map of Cheney SE

About this map

The South Fork Ninnescah River carves a broad diagonal path across this mid-1960s landscape, serving as a primary drainage for the surrounding prairie of Vinita and Morton townships. The map documents an era of resource extraction and infrastructure, notably the Bolinger Oil Field and scattered industry like the Shale Pit and Sandpit. Along the northern edge, the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad runs parallel to the highway, connecting the settlement of Lansdowne with the outskirts of Cheney.
