1951 Map of Dewey Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Dewey Ranch sits at the heart of this High Plains landscape in Northwest Kansas, documented just after the mid-century during the Missouri River Basin development program. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Little Beaver Creek and the North Fork Sappa Creek, which carve deep drainages through the townships of Jefferson, Celia, and Rotate. This era of rural Kansas history is characterized by a high density of small-scale educational and spiritual centers, such as Prairie Gem Ch and Lone Prairie Sch. The map provides a detailed view of the section lines and rural infrastructure that sustained the local ranching economy, including the location of a specific Windmill and various schoolhouses like Central Sch and Pleasant View Sch that served the dispersed homesteads across Rawlins and Thomas counties.
