1971 Map of Norton

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Norton stands at the northern edge of this Quay County landscape, where the high plains begin to break into the drainage systems of the Canadian River valley. The terrain is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and deep incisions, most notably Barranca Creek and Puerto Creek, which carve through the arid topography. This 1971 field-checked survey illustrates a sparsely populated ranching and utility corridor, highlighted by a prominent north-south Pipeline and scattered industrial markers like a Gravel Pit and isolated Drill Hole locations. For those tracing local history or genealogy, the presence of Puerto Cem and an additional Cem site near the settlement provide specific geographic points of interest in an otherwise wide-open territory of canyons and mesas, including Dog Canyon and the winding Puerto Canyon.
