1972 Map of Melrose East

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Melrose serves as the primary hub of this high plains landscape in Curry County, where the settlement's western edge meets the extensive rail corridor of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe. The town's local infrastructure is clearly defined, including the Memorial Cem and a dedicated Rodeo Ground situated near the railroad tracks. Beyond the town, the terrain is marked by the industrial footprints of several Gravel Pit operations and a Sandpit, reflecting the area's mineral resource extraction. The map also documents modern utility and exploration markers, such as a Radio Tower and a specific Drill Hole. Large-scale property divisions are represented by a network of fence lines, illustrating the ranching and agricultural character of the region during the early 1970s.
