1969 Map of Mc Allaster

About this map

McAllaster anchors the southern edge of this West Kansas landscape, situated where the Union Pacific railroad line cuts across the High Plains. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the North Fork Smoky Hill River as it moves through the eastern half of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries such as Sand Creek and Lake Creek. The area’s geology and natural resources are evident in the presence of several Springs and industrial sites like the Marl Pit and Gravel Pit, which highlight the local extractive activities of the era.
