1966 Map of Goodland NW

About this map

Middle Beaver Creek and South Beaver Creek carve through the High Plains of western Kansas in this topographic study, converging into Beaver Creek as it winds through Voltaire township. The landscape is defined by the section-line roads and scattered agricultural improvements typical of the mid-1960s, a period when the rural school system was still represented by landmarks like the Prairie Star Sch. Near the southern edge, the terrain transitions into Logan township, where the headwaters of Sappa Cr appear near infrastructure like a Radio Tower and Sewage Disposal site. This map serves as a record of the drainage patterns and land use in Sherman County before late-20th-century center-pivot irrigation and consolidated farming further altered the local topography.
