1978 Map of Selden

About this map

Selden serves as the primary hub of this High Plains landscape, situated along the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad line. The settlement pattern is defined by the proximity of several significant watercourses, including the North Fork Prairie Dog Creek and the Prairie Dog Creek which carve through the northern terrain, while the N Fk Solomon R touches the southern reaches. Local infrastructure in the late 1970s includes a Cem and Roadside Park near the town center, with evidence of industrial activity marked by Sandpits to the west. The map also delineates the boundary between Decatur and Sheridan Counties, illustrating how geopolitical lines intersect with the natural drainage systems of the Kansas prairie.
