1939 Map of Lake Mc Bride

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

El Quartelejo Pueblo Ruins Monument stands as a focal point of historical significance in this 1930s landscape, marking the site of the northernmost Indian pueblo in North America. The map details a complex network of canyons and draws carved into the high plains of Western Kansas, including Horsethief Canyon, Garlin Canyon, and Battendorf Canyon, which all feed toward the central waters of Lake McBride. This area, surveyed before the mid-century expansion of local infrastructure, reveals a rural landscape defined by small educational outposts like Glendale Sch and Prairie View Sch. To the south, the topography descends toward Christy Lake and the structural Christy Dam, showing how water management transformed this arid terrain. The presence of features such as Suicide Bluffs and Devils Backbone highlights the dramatic elevation changes that characterize the local geography at the border of Logan and Scott Counties.
