1969 Map of Kanorado NE

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Little Beaver Creek carves a winding path through this high plains borderland, where the 1969 landscape is defined by the rigid grid of section lines and the State Line dividing Colorado and Kansas. The area shows a sparse but established rural infrastructure, anchored by the Bear Valley Sch and the nearby Bear Valley Cem. These landmarks, along with the small settlement of Witzel, suggest a community built on dryland farming and ranching. The map is notably dotted with numerous groundwater extraction points, each marked simply as Well, indicating the critical importance of the Ogallala Aquifer to this semi-arid region. Transportation is primarily limited to straight-line section roads, though a dedicated Landing Strip in the southeastern quadrant reflects the scale and necessity of aerial access in these expansive reaches of Grant township.
