1979 Map of Horsethief Draw NE

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The North Fork Smoky Hill River and Smoky Hill River dominate this High Plains landscape in Sherman County, Kansas. The confluence of these waterways and the drainage from Sandy Creek define the local topography, which features a mix of river bottomland and upland plains divided by township boundaries like Morton, North, and Lincoln. This 1970s survey captures a transition toward recreational and commemorative land use, evidenced by the large Sherman State Fishing Lake and Wildlife Area and the Soldiers Memorial County Park. Genealogy and local history researchers will find the Fairview Cem at the southern edge of the map, while industrial activity is represented by a small Sandpit near the river fork. The map also documents a network of rural water wells and section roads that supported the agricultural operations of the era.
