1979 Map of Hill City North

About this map

Hill City sits at the southern edge of this West Central Kansas landscape, where the high plains are carved by the meandering courses of Spring Creek and Coon Creek. Mapped from aerial photography taken in the mid-1970s, the terrain reveals a rural economy centered on both agriculture and resource extraction, with numerous Oil Wells and several Quarry sites dotting the drainage basins. Local history is anchored by the Hill City Cem and Roscoe Cem, providing valuable touchstones for genealogical research in Graham County. The infrastructure of the late twentieth century is well-defined, showing the Municipal Airport and a prominent Radio Tower that mark the transition from the settled town grid to the surrounding section lines and draws.
