1966 Map of East Bridge Creek North

About this map

Amity Canal (Abandoned) cuts across the southern portion of this landscape, marking a shift in the region's water management history in western Kansas. Surveyed in the mid-1960s, the terrain is defined by the drainage systems of East Bridge Creek, West Bridge Creek, and Spring Creek, which carve deep contours into the high plains. The intersection of Richland, Coolidge, and Medway townships reveals a rural landscape organized by section lines and sparse industrial development. Resource extraction is evident through scattered infrastructure, including several Gas Wells and a specifically noted Drill Hole. This topographical study captures the area during a period when earlier irrigation efforts, represented by the dry canal, had given way to more modern energy exploration and traditional ranching or farming patterns.
