1942 Map of Lake Mc Bride

About this map

El Quartelejo Pueblo Ruins Monument stands as a focal point of this 1939 survey, marking the northernmost pueblo archaeological site in North America. Located within Scott County State Park, the landscape is defined by the deep incisions of Ladder Creek and its many offshoot canyons, including Horsehead Canyon and Gartin Canyon. The presence of Lake McBride and the Lake McBride Monument highlights the development of public recreation in Western Kansas during the late 1930s. Rural education is well-represented by several district schoolhouses, such as Glendale Sch and Prairie View Sch, which served the scattered agricultural community. An Old Railroad Grade north of the state park suggests earlier transportation ambitions in this high plains environment, while dramatic landforms like Suicide Bluffs and Devils Backbone reveal the sharp relief of the region's chalk-driven topography.
