1979 Map of Grinnell South

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Union Pacific railroad corridor and parallel highways 70 and 40 define the northern landscape of this High Plains region, where the town of Grinnell sits near the tracks. To the west, the small community of Campus and the location of Bushby mark the steady progression of the rail line across the flat upland. South of this transportation corridor, the terrain breaks into more complex drainages as it descends toward Big Creek and the North Branch Hackberry Creek. This transition from the level plateau to the dissected creek valleys reveals the region's resource extraction, indicated by an Oil Well and several Gravel Pits scattered among the draws. The map encompasses portions of Gaeland and Gove, providing a detailed view of the rural infrastructure and land use in western Kansas during the late 1970s.
