1960 Map of Garden City West

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Garden City serves as the focal point of this 1960 survey, situated where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor parallels the Arkansas River. The map documents a significant era of post-war growth, showing the urban grid extending north of Kansas Ave and west toward Holcomb. Educational landmarks like Lincoln Sch, Jones Sch, and the local Jr College reflect the community's mid-century development. South of the river, the landscape transitions into the extensive Finney County State Game Refuge, characterized by sand dunes and depressions. The presence of numerous gas wells and gravel operations such as Sandpit and Gravel Pits illustrates the vital industrial and extractive activities that defined the region's economy at this time.
