1971 Map of Lycan NE

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

North Bear Creek and Little Bear Creek carve a series of shallow valleys through this High Plains landscape along the Colorado-Kansas border in the early 1970s. The map illustrates a highly rural environment where the economy is driven by sparse water resources and local extraction, as evidenced by the Gravel Pit located along the northern creek branch. For genealogists and local historians, the Amerine Cem stands as a solitary landmark of early settlement in this remote corner of Prowers County. The map clearly defines the jurisdictional lines of Prowers and Stanton counties, showing how the interstate boundary bisects the drainage of Bear Creek. Numerous wells are distributed across the township blocks, highlighting the reliance on groundwater for agricultural survival in this arid prairie region.
