1962 Map of Haxtun East

About this map

Haxtun sits at the southwestern edge of this survey, anchored by the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad line that cuts across the prairie landscape. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Wildhorse Creek, which wanders through the northern and eastern sections of the quadrangle. This area, spanning the Sedgwick and Phillips County line, reflects a mid-century agricultural environment where small-scale industrial markers like a Borrow Pit and the local Sewage Disposal facility are noted near the town center. For those researching local family history, the Fairfield Cem is a significant landmark situated in the northeastern portion of the map, serving the surrounding rural sections. The detailed topography, mapped during the early 1960s, captures the high plains character of the region before modern expansion altered the footprint of these farming communities.
