1979 Map of Rexford

About this map

Rexford serves as the primary hub of this High Plains landscape during the late 1970s, situated at the intersection of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad and Highway 83. The town's grid is detailed with a local park and a benchmark elevation of 2,956 feet. Outside the settlement, the terrain is defined by the headwaters and drainage of the North Fork Solomon River, South Fork Solomon River, and Bow Creek, which cut through the open prairie. The map documents the rural infrastructure of the era, including scattered wells, a Gravel Pit, and a Radio Tower near the southern border. For genealogists and local historians, the location of the Rexford Cem south of town provides a vital reference point for the community's heritage in both Thomas and Sheridan counties.
