About this map

Arkansas River flows along the northern edge of this Ford County landscape, where the settlement of South Dodge and the industrial fringes of Dodge City transition into the agricultural expanses of Fairview, Richland, and Concord. A notable historical marker on this 1969 survey is the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, which cuts vertically across the western sections, providing a clear reference for researchers of early Kansas land divisions.

Transport and education are central to the area's development, evidenced by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad and the C R I & P line following the river valley. Local life is documented through rural landmarks such as Sunnyside Sch, Richland Valley Sch, and Hope Ch. The map also reveals the mid-century leisure and industrial culture of the region, featuring a Drive-in Theater and numerous Gravel Pits concentrated near the riverbed.
