1893 Map of Hill City

About this map

Hill City serves as the focal point of this Graham County landscape, surveyed in the late nineteenth century when the High Plains were transitioning into established townships. The settlement of Nicodemus stands out as a significant historical landmark along the South Fork Solomon River, established by African American settlers during the Exoduster movement. To the south, the Union Pacific Railway corridor defines the development of Wakeeney, anchoring the southern edge of the map in Trego County.
