1968 Map of Medford NE

About this map

Caldwell sits at the northern edge of this late-1960s landscape, where the Chicago and Rock Island Pacific railroad cuts across the Kansas-Oklahoma border. The map documents a transition between early mid-century recreational landmarks and industrial activity, featuring the Drive-in Theater and Caldwell Golf Course alongside multiple Shale Pits and the Southeast Renfrow Oil Field. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Bluff Creek and Deer Creek, which flow through the townships of Fairview and Bluff. Local genealogy and community markers are well-preserved in the placement of North Star Ch, Spring Creek Cem, and Williams Cem. Detailed fence and field lines, interpreted from 1965 aerial photography, provide a precise record of rural property boundaries and agricultural patterns during this era.
