About this map

The Smoky Hill River winds across the northern landscape of this late 1960s survey, marking a transition between the elevated terrain of Lookout Hill and the valley floor. The town of Schoenchen sits near the river bend, accompanied by St Anthony Cem, while Liebenthal is situated further south along the banks of Big Timber Creek near St Joseph Cem.

Extensive industrial activity is documented through numerous Gravel Pits, Sandpits, and a Quarry concentrated along the watercourses. The presence of an Oil Field and widespread Wheatland labels reflect a local economy balanced between resource extraction and agriculture. From the northern reaches of Ellis and Rush Counties down to Hungry Hollow, the map provides a clear record of the region's land use and township divisions including Fairview, Illinois, and Big Timber.
