1978 Map of Clayton NE

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Elk Creek winds through the southern reaches of this Norton County landscape, defining the local drainage patterns near the townships of Almelo and Lenora. The 1970s topography reveals a rural environment centered on agricultural land and specialized local industry, most notably at the Claypit and several Sandpits found along the creek bed. Near the southern margin, the Lenora Municipal Airfield serves as a modern waypoint in an otherwise traditional plains setting. The map provides a clear look at the township boundaries of Clayton, Leota, Noble, and Highland, illustrating the systematic sectioning of the Kansas prairie. Numerous localized water sources labeled simply as Well are scattered throughout the quadrangle, highlighting the vital role of groundwater management for the farmsteads and rural residents of the era.
