About this map

The North Fork Solomon River meanders across this rural landscape where the boundaries of four counties—Decatur, Norton, Sheridan, and Graham—converge. This late-1970s survey documents a region defined by agricultural townships like Adell and Allodium, where the social fabric is anchored by landmarks such as the Allison Ch and a local Roadside Park. The map reveals an economy tied to both the land and its underlying resources, showing numerous Oil Wells and extractive sites including a Sandpit, a Quarry, and a Mill. These features, alongside the network of section-line roads, illustrate the post-war development of the High Plains, balancing traditional farming with the mid-century expansion of the Kansas oil industry.
