USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
The Smoky Hill Air Force Base Bombing Range dominates the central landscape of this Saline County quadrangle, a stark military imposition over the traditional farm and ranch lands of central Kansas. This mid-century survey reveals a transition from agricultural life to Cold War defense requirements, as the bombing range boundary bisects established townships like Spring Creek and Washington. To the east, the settlement of Falun remains anchored by the Missouri Pacific railroad, serving as a local hub for transport and community life.
