About this map

The North Fork Solomon River meanders across this rural landscape, carving a distinctive valley through the surrounding plains of Northwest Kansas. The settlement of Lenora sits in the northeast, supported by infrastructure like the Lenora Municipal Airfield and the Lenora South Cem. Further west, the small community of New Almelo is anchored by the St Joseph Cem, reflecting the area's early Catholic heritage.

Drainage patterns are defined by several tributaries, including Coon Creek, Marsh Creek, and Lost Creek, which feed into the primary river valley. The map documents the rural economy through features like a Quarry and a network of pipelines, while the border between Norton County and Graham County divides the southern portion of the sheet. Surveyed in the mid-1970s, the terrain shows a landscape dominated by agriculture and traditional land divisions.
