1956 Map of Ellinwood NE

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Cheyenne Bottoms dominates the western portion of this landscape, where the State Waterfowl Refuge protects a critical marsh ecosystem within the Kansas plains. This mid-century survey illustrates the rural character of Logan and Lakin townships, which are defined by a grid of agricultural section lines and an extensive network of Oil Wells and pipelines. The terrain is marked by the winding courses of Cow Creek and Little Cheyenne Creek, which cut through the open country northeast of the local aviation hub at Ellinwood Airport. Revisions from the late 1970s reveal the expansion of the energy industry and road infrastructure over time, while highlighting the enduring importance of the wetlands as a regional landmark.
