1964 Map of Holyrood
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
Holyrood and Bushton anchor this mid-1960s survey of the central Kansas prairie, where the landscape is defined by the intersection of legacy rail lines and a burgeoning petroleum industry. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Missouri Pacific railroads cut across the territory, serving as the backbone for these agricultural and industrial hubs. Outside the town limits, the land is heavily marked by energy extraction, featuring extensive operations like the Kraft-Prusa Oil Field, West Oil Field, and Heiken North Oil Field. This concentration of oil wells and named fields reflects the post-war economic shift of the region. Local history is preserved in the location of the Bushton Cem and the small settlement of Farhman, while natural features like Plum Creek and Calf Creek provide drainage through the undulating terrain of the Valley area.
