1952 Map of Glasco

About this map

The Solomon River meanders across the Kansas plains in this early 1950s survey, marking the transition between Cloud Co and Ottawa Co. The town of Glasco serves as a northern hub, where new infrastructure is visible via a section marked under construction at the town's edge. Further south, the town of Delphos is positioned near the banks of Henry Creek and the Union Pacific rail line. The landscape is defined by the river’s complex oxbows and a network of named tributaries including Fisher Creek and Mortimer Creek. Local landmarks like the Landing Field and the Pumping Station reflect the mid-century utility of the region, while the St Paul Cem offers a point of interest for those researching family history in the southern portion of the quadrangle.
