About this map

The High Plains city of Goodland serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s survey, showing its development as a regional hub in Sherman County. The settlement is anchored by civic and industrial landmarks, including the Courthouse, City Hall, and the Powerplant. Educational institutions like Grant Sch, the High Sch, and the Northwest Kansas Vocational Sch indicate the community's growth during this era. Purple revision layers from the mid-1970s illustrate suburban expansion and road improvements around the central grid.

Transportation corridors dominate the landscape, with the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad bisecting the town. To the north, the Goodland Municipal Airport Renner Field occupies a large section of the flat terrain near the Middle Fork Sappa Creek. Beyond the city limits, the map details rural life through features like Goodland Cemetery, Lutheran Cem, and several named townships including Itasca and Voltaire.
