1979 Map of Halford

About this map

Halford serves as a key rail point in Thomas County, situated at the intersection of the Union Pacific railroad and Highway 83. This late 1970s landscape is defined by the expansive agricultural and industrial operations typical of the High Plains, including a large Feedlot and a Gravel Pit near the riverbanks. The natural drainage of the region is dominated by the South Fork Solomon River and Sand Creek, which carve distinct paths through the townships of North, Randall, and South Randall. The map illustrates the transition from traditional prairie land to modern industrial farming, with carefully surveyed sections and topographic relief highlighting the gentle but persistent flow of the High Plains river systems.
