About this map

The Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad cuts through the southern reaches of this Kansas landscape, anchoring the town of Selden as a focal point of commerce and transit in the early 1950s. The surrounding High Plains terrain is defined by the branching drainage of Sappa Creek to the north and Dog Prairie Creek to the south. This survey reveals a remarkably dense network of rural infrastructure, pointing to a well-distributed agrarian population that supported numerous country schools like Plainview Sch and O Toole Sch.
