1966 Map of Mc Cracken SW

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Missouri Pacific railroad cuts diagonally across this high plains landscape of Ness County, following the natural contours north of Big Timber Creek. In the mid-1960s, the rural character of the region is defined by the boundary between Waring and Bazine townships, where the land is carved by intricate drainage patterns leading to Dry Creek. Local history is preserved in small, isolated markers such as Ramsey Cem and St Marys Cem, which serve as the primary landmarks in an area dominated by agricultural sections and occasional industrial activity at the local Quarry. The map illustrates the sparse but deliberate settlement pattern typical of western Kansas, where transportation lines and water sources dictated the placement of homesteads and communal spaces.
