2015 Map of Solomon

About this map

The Smoky Hill River carves a highly sinuous path through this Dickinson County landscape, defining the character of the river valley as it flows toward Abilene. The settlement of Solomon sits at the western edge, showcasing a distinct street grid with named thoroughfares like E Main St and E William St. The map captures a moment in the region's development where major transportation corridors, including Old Hwy 40, run parallel to the river and established rail lines, linking the smaller community of Sand Spring to the larger regional centers. Rural history is anchored by the Prairie Mound Cem, while local hydrology is further detailed by the presence of Magnolia Lake and Redbud Lake, which offer a contrast to the surrounding section-line road network that segments the prairie into regular agricultural blocks.
