1972 Map of Monument
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
Monument sits at the intersection of high plains agriculture and rail transport along the Union Pacific line in Logan County. This 1970s survey illustrates a landscape defined by the drainage systems of Hackberry Creek and the Middle Branch Hackberry Creek, which carve distinct topographic breaks into the flat Kansas terrain. The map records the spatial relationship between the small town center and the outlying Monument Cem, providing a precise view of the rural infrastructure as it existed following 1969 aerial photography. To the southwest, the incision of Sixmile Gulch marks the transition into more broken ground, showing the natural erosion patterns that contrast with the linear grid of section lines and transport corridors that organize the High Plains.
