1961 Map of Hays North

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The city of Hays serves as the central hub of this 1960s-era survey, revealing an urban landscape defined by educational institutions and historical burial grounds. The presence of Fort Hays State College, St Joseph Academy, and numerous parochial and public schools like St Joseph Sch and Lincoln Sch highlights the community's mid-century civic investment. Along the southern edge, the Union Pacific railroad tracks and Big Creek anchor the town's geography, while the northern reaches transition into a landscape heavily marked by resource extraction. The terrain is dotted with numerous quarries, gravel pits, and Oil Wells, particularly concentrated near the North Fork Big Creek. Notable landmarks include St Joseph Cem and Mt Allen Cem, providing essential points of reference for genealogists tracing local family histories in this Kansas plains environment.
