1959 Map of Great Bend NE

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The meanders of Walnut Creek and Blood Creek define the prairie landscape of Barton County as it transitioned through the mid-20th century. Just north of Great Bend, the map reveals a meticulously organized countryside where school districts and rural life intersected with burgeoning industry. Local education was rooted in facilities like School No 45 and Countryside Sch, while the regional economy leveraged the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Missouri Pacific railroads to move resources from numerous Oil Wells and a local Claypit.
