1965 Map of Portland

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Portland sits at the intersection of heavy rail and emerging modern highways in this mid-1960s snapshot of Sumner County. The landscape is defined by a significant energy infrastructure, including the Portland Oil Field, Guelph Oil Field, and Bitter Creek Oil Field, which pockmark the prairie alongside agricultural fields. Running east-to-west, the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad provides a traditional transport spine, while the north-south Kansas Turnpike with its South Haven Interchange signals the era's shift toward high-speed interstate travel.
