1979 Map of Hoxie NE

About this map

Bow Creek Valley dominates the topography of this Sheridan County landscape, where the meandering course of Bow Creek and its tributary, South Fork Bow Creek, have carved distinct drainage patterns into the high plains. In the late 1970s, this area was defined by a sparse, rural grid of section lines across the townships of Union and Adell. Human activity is marked by dispersed infrastructure, including several locations labeled as Well and intermittent Sandpit operations near the creek beds. A significant point of interest for genealogists and local historians is the Bow Creek Cem located in the eastern portion of the map. The drainage of Holly Creek also appears in the south, illustrating the water-dependent settlement patterns typical of this portion of Kansas.
