1976 Map of Scott City

About this map

Scott City serves as the busy hub of this Western Kansas landscape, where the intersection of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Missouri Pacific railroads dictated the town's grid and growth. The map illustrates a well-developed mid-century community featuring a courthouse, hospital, and various schools including St Joseph Sch. Beyond the residential streets, the geography is defined by the broad White Woman Valley and the seasonal path of White Woman Creek. The surrounding plains are heavily utilized for agriculture and industry, marked by numerous feedlots, wells, and specialized sites like the Drive-in Theater and the Scott City Municipal Airport. To the south, the smaller settlement of Shallow Water sits near the edge of the Basin, providing a clear look at the region's rural infrastructure and local landmarks like the Scott City Cem.
