1969 Map of Mc Allaster SE

About this map

The North Fork Smoky Hill River carves a distinct path through the southern half of this western Kansas landscape, accompanied by a small Gaging Station that monitored the prairie water levels in the late 1960s. The transport corridor is defined by the Union Pacific railroad, which runs parallel to the river and established the region's primary shipping link. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is visible in the scattered Sandpits and a lone Lowe Landing Strip in the eastern section. This survey captures the transition between the rolling high plains and the more eroded breaks of the river valley, where drainage features like Sand Cr feed into the primary waterway within the Winona and Mc Allaster townships.
