1974 Map of Elkader SW

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Butterfield Trail cuts through this portion of Logan County, marking the historic overland path across the high plains of Western Kansas. This 1970s survey captures the landscape at a time when historical transportation routes remained visible, including the Old Railroad Grade that winds south of Twin Butte Creek. The terrain is defined by the erosion patterns of the Smoky Hill River and several tributary drainages such as Ladder Creek, Chalk Creek, and Burris Draw. Near the southern edge of the sheet, the Little Pyramids stand as distinct geological landmarks in a region largely characterized by its creek beds and sparse infrastructure. The presence of isolated Wells and a Gravel Pit highlight the local reliance on water resources and the extraction of materials from the chalk-rich earth.
