1956 Map of Ellinwood NE

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Cheyenne Bottoms State Waterfowl Refuge dominates the western portion of this mid-century survey, illustrating the managed wetlands and refuge boundaries that define this part of the Kansas landscape. The area is a study in the intersection of natural hydrology and human industry, with numerous Oil Wells and larger Oil Fields interspersed among the grazing lands of Logan and Lakin townships. This economic activity is balanced by established community markers, such as SS Peter & Paul Sch and School No 10, which serve the rural population between the winding courses of Cow Creek and Little Cheyenne Creek. The presence of the Ellinwood Airport and prominent Radio Towers near the southern edge indicates the regional infrastructure supporting the small communities just outside the refuge.
