1979 Map of Hoxie NW

About this map

South Fk Solomon River and Bow Creek define this agricultural landscape of Sheridan County during the late 1970s. The map illustrates a meticulously organized section of the High Plains, where the townships of Sheridan, Union, Parnell, and Kenneth meet. Central to the rural community is Immanuel Ch, serving as a social and spiritual anchor amidst the sprawling fields. Local industry is marked by several excavations, including a Gravel Pit in the north and a Sandpit in the south, while a Radio Tower stands as a modern landmark. An interesting technical detail included in this survey is the notation of fine red dashed lines, which trace selected fence and field lines as they appeared on aerial photographs from 1974.
