1978 Map of Edmond SE

About this map

North Fork Solomon River meanders across the northern reaches of this High Plains landscape, where the terrain transitions across the boundary of Norton Co and Graham Co. The map documents a predominantly rural environment during the late 1970s, characterized by the winding path of Bow Creek through the southern half of the quadrangle. Small-scale industrial and agricultural markers are present, including a Sandpit near the river fork and several wells scattered across the upland areas of Solomon and West Union townships. This 1:24,000 scale survey illustrates the drainage patterns and relief of the regional watersheds, specifically where Otter Cr feeds into the primary river system. The sparse distribution of named features emphasizes the open, agricultural character of the Kansas borderlands in this era.
