1955 Map of Milford Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Milford Lake and the winding Republican River dominate this landscape along the border of Dickinson and Geary Counties. The transition from mid-century rural survey to late-1970s land management is visible in the purple-tinted revisions, showing the expansion of the reservoir and the establishment of the Milford-Pleasant View State Park. The surrounding highlands of Fragrant Hill and Smoky Hill are dotted with the essential landmarks of early Kansas community life, including the Alida Church and several rural education sites like Walla Walla School. Genealogy researchers will find several well-defined burial grounds across the townships, such as Alida Cem, St Johns Cem, and Good Hope Cem, which provide a grounded record of the families who settled this river valley before the modern landscape was reshaped by the dam.
