1979 Map of Horsethief Draw SE

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The high plains of Wallace County are defined here by the intricate drainage systems of North Fork Lake Creek, Middle Fork Lake Creek, and South Fork Lake Creek. This 1979 survey records a landscape shaped by intermittent water and early industry, featuring scattered Well sites and Gravel Pits concentrated near the northern boundary. The township lines of Morton and Sharon Springs anchor the survey, showing a sparse settlement pattern characteristic of the western Kansas prairie. Genealogists and local historians will find the McKinley Cem positioned in the eastern portion of the sheet, while the winding paths of Goose Creek and Armstrong Draw illustrate the natural topography that dictated cattle ranching and homesteading routes across this section of the High Plains.
