1967 Map of Colby SW

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

North Fork Solomon River and South Fork Solomon River carve parallel courses across the High Plains of Thomas County in this late 1960s survey. The landscape is defined by the townships of East Hale, Morgan, Kingery, and Summers, where a meticulous grid of fine red dashed lines indicates fence and field boundaries visible during aerial photography in 1964. This topographic record highlights the vital water sources for this agricultural region, including the winding Prairie Dog Creek in the north and various smaller tributaries. Industrial and utility footprints are sparse but significant, with a Sandpit located near the southern fork and a deep Well recorded in the Summers district. The modernization of the Kansas plains is evidenced by the passage of Interstate 70 across the northern edge, complete with designated Rest Areas for travelers.
