1969 Map of Mount Sunflower NW

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Smoky Hill Sch stands as a focal point in this 1969 topographic portrait of Kit Carson County, providing a glimpse into the rural educational infrastructure of the High Plains. The landscape is defined by the subtle drainage patterns of Middle Beaver Creek and Sandy Creek, which etch their way across the terrain toward the North Fork Smoky Hill River at the southern edge of the sheet. The sparse settlement pattern, including the named location of Janssen, reflects the area's agricultural character during the late 1960s. Numerous individual wells are documented across the grid, indicating the vital importance of groundwater management for the ranching and farming operations that sustain this part of eastern Colorado. This survey, based on 1968 aerial photography, offers a detailed record of land use and water resources prior to modern pivots and large-scale agricultural developments.
