1964 Map of Clay Center SE

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Republican River valley south of Clay Center undergoes a major transformation in the mid-1960s as the Milford Reservoir begins to take shape. This survey documents the landscape just as rising waters were slated to alter the terrain, showing the original paths of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad and the small settlement of Broughton. Beyond the immediate floodplain, the map captures established rural landmarks including Lincoln Sch and several local burial grounds such as Gilbert Cem and Gatesville Cem. The northern edge of the sheet provides a detailed layout of Clay Center, featuring Dexter Park, the Fairground, and various municipal facilities. The transition from the high ground of Highland down to the creek-fed bottoms of Otter Creek and Cane Creek illustrates the agricultural and hydrological character of this Kansas region before the full inundation of the reservoir.
