1976 Map of Modoc

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The unincorporated settlement of Modoc stands as a focal point in this 1970s western Kansas landscape, situated along the Missouri Pacific railroad. The map documents the rural infrastructure of Scott County, where the high plains are dissected by the drainage of Lion Creek and the meandering Rocky Draw. Local history is anchored by the Modoc Cem, while the economic activity of the era is represented by several instances of Gravel Pit and large-scale Feedlot operations near the tracks. The topography reveals the subtle but significant depression of the Isbel Valley, providing a detailed look at the section lines and farmstead placements that define the regional grid. This survey serves as a clear record of the area's agricultural and transit-oriented layout before later shifts in rail usage and land management changed the character of these small prairie outposts.
