1979 Map of Grinnell North

About this map

Angelus and the surrounding plains of the High Plains region define this late-1970s landscape, where agriculture and infrastructure meet at the intersection of several county lines. The map reveals a highly organized section-line road grid spanning Thomas and Sheridan counties, punctuated by rural landmarks such as St Johns Cem. The southern edge of the survey is anchored by the community of Grinnell and the smaller settlement of Campus, both situated along the vital Union Pacific railroad corridor. Water management and resource extraction are central themes here, evidenced by the winding path of the South Fork North Solomon River and numerous scattered sites labeled Well and Oil Well. The presence of industrial activity is further noted through several Gravel Pits, reflecting the area's local economic drivers during this era.
