1971 Map of Eureka NE

About this map

Eureka City Lake dominates the southern landscape of this Greenwood County region, serving as a central geographic landmark just north of the city. The area is characterized by the branching drainage of Bachelor Creek, Swing Creek, and the E Br Fall River, where the terrain transitions from open prairie into the more complex, dissected topography of the Flint Hills. In the early 1970s, the local economy was visibly tied to the land, with Oil Wells scattered across the eastern sections and the prominent Thrall Field located to the north.
