1970 Map of Guthrie South

About this map

Guthrie's southern outskirts and the surrounding Logan County countryside are defined by a mix of early industrial infrastructure and suburban expansion. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor cuts through the landscape, flanked by the Iron Mound terrain to the west and the developing Southwest Gas and Oil Field to the south. These resource-driven foundations contrast with mid-century recreational and civic additions like Guthrie Lake, Liberty Lake, and the Drive-in Theater. Further south, the settlement of Seward remains a focal point for genealogical research, anchored by the Seward Cem and Memorial Cem. The inclusion of the Job Corps Center and Guthrie Municipal Airport illustrates the area's transition from a rural railroad stop into a modernized regional hub, all while maintaining historic landmarks like Mt Pleasant Ch and the Faust Sch.
