1960 Map of Garden City SW

About this map

The township boundaries of Sherlock and Ivanhoe divide this High Plains landscape, where industrial and agricultural patterns emerge from the 1958 and 1974 aerial surveys. The terrain is marked by a wide distribution of energy resources, with numerous Gas Wells and several Wells dotted across the sections, indicating the significance of the local gas field. For genealogists and local historians, the Goldamer Cem in section 23 stands as a primary point of interest, situated amidst a landscape largely defined by sections, fence lines, and field boundaries. The 1974 revisions, shown in purple, reveal the evolving footprint of irrigation ditches and rural structures that supported the region's agricultural economy during the mid-to-late 20th century.
