About this map

The town of Quinter serves as the focal point of this western Kansas landscape in the late 1970s, situated at the border of Gove and Trego counties. This agricultural and transportation hub is defined by the east-west corridor of the Union Pacific railroad and the modern path of Interstate 70. Outside the structured grid of the town, the land is marked by local industry and community landmarks, including several Gravel Pits and Caliche Pits. To the south, the Old Order Ch stands as a significant cultural marker, while the drainages of Plum Creek and Big Creek carve through the high plains topography. The map detail extends to local amenities like the Golf Course and a small Landing Strip, providing a clear view of the mid-century infrastructure and land use patterns that sustained this rural prairie community.
