About this map

Selkirk sits as a primary rail settlement along the Missouri Pacific line in this 1970 survey of western Kansas. The landscape is defined by the winding course of White Woman Creek, which cuts through the northern sections of Tribune and Leoti townships. This arid terrain is marked by numerous wells and intermittent drainage patterns, illustrating the region's reliance on groundwater for agriculture and local industry.

Evidence of local activity and infrastructure is visible in the Gravel Pits and the small cemetery located just east of the main settlement. Civil boundaries are clearly delineated, showing the intersection of Greeley and Wichita Counties, alongside the administrative divisions of Harrison and White Woman townships. The map provides a precise view of the rural section lines and transport corridors that shaped this High Plains community during the late twentieth century.
