1968 Map of Grow

About this map

The North Wichita River and Mid Fk Wichita R carve through this section of the Rolling Plains during the late 1960s, defining a landscape of ranching and early infrastructure. The small settlement of Grow serves as a central point in this rural area, which is notably divided by the Cottle Co King Co line and an Indefinite Boundary to the north. This survey illustrates a quiet era of mid-century development, evidenced by the Finney Community Center and a Radio Facility located near the southern reaches of Buford Branch. Land use is further characterized by scattered resources like the Gravel Pit near Richards and numerous wells dotting the drainages of Farrer Creek. The map also captures specific local landmarks such as the Substa electrical component, providing a granular look at the utility and community network in King County before later modernization.
