1965 Map of New Salem
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Winfield State Hospital and the campus of Southwestern College anchor the southwestern corner of this Kansas landscape, where the urban edge of Winfield meets the agricultural and industrial expanse of Cowley County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of energy extraction, including the Winfield Oil Field and Frog Hollow Field, with dozens of wells scattered across the prairie. This mid-century view captures the area just as Timber Creek Lake was established, altering the flow of Timber Creek and its many tributaries like Dutch Creek and Cedar Creek. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad serves as a primary transit corridor, connecting the small community of New Salem to the larger regional centers. Smaller rural landmarks, such as Sunnyside Sch and Union Cem, reveal the older patterns of settlement that persist amidst the evolving oil economy.
