About this map

Guthrie sits at the southern edge of this study, appearing as a significant regional hub where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor meets the winding course of the Cimarron River. The landscape north of the city is defined by a dense network of country schools and churches, such as Banner Sch and Pilgrim Rest Ch, which reveal the distributed rural community structure of Logan County in the late 1960s. Along the river, several industrial and recreational sites are prominent, including numerous Sandpit operations and the Guthrie Country Club near Country Club Lake.

Tracing the northern reach of the rail line leads to the small settlement of Lawrie and the nearby Lawrie Cem. The terrain rises to distinct landmarks like Rose Hill and Iron Mound, while the river lowlands are marked by a Gaging Station and Sewage Disposal facilities. This period shows the transition of the area as it maintains its traditional agricultural and railway identity while supporting a growing municipal center at Guthrie.
