USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
Colby stands as the primary hub of this High Plains landscape, situated at the junction of the Union Pacific and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroads. The town's grid is remarkably dense for the era, established near the headwaters of Prairie Dog Creek. The surrounding Thomas County terrain is defined by a systematic township and range grid, where rural life is anchored by a series of local schools including Abilene Sch, Lone Willow Sch, and Soddy Sch.
