1972 Map of Elkader NW

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Logan Monument dominates the western landscape of this Logan County terrain, where the high plains break into a network of draws and seasonal watercourses. The 1970s survey captures a sparse, working environment defined by the headwaters of South Branch Hackberry Creek and the meandering path of Plum Creek. Human presence is marked by isolated resource extraction sites, including a Sandpit and several Quarries, alongside scattered agricultural wells. A single, poignant Grave is noted on a high ridge overlooking the drainage basins, offering a specific point of interest for local historians and genealogists. The map illustrates a transitional zone between the townships of Oakley and Elkader, where the land-use patterns of the early 1970s emphasize the vast, open character of western Kansas prior to modern center-pivot irrigation expansion.
