1978 Map of South of Crosby Creek

About this map

Benkelman and Grant townships meet along a high plateau in this mid-1970s survey of the High Plains. The landscape is defined by the incision of Little Beaver Creek, which carves a dendritic pattern through the agricultural terrain, flanked by numerous small draws. Human presence is sparse and largely centered on the Cheyenne Co Sherman Co line, which divides the northern and southern halves of the quadrangle. A solitary Neville Ch stands as a focal point for the local rural community, while a single Quarry in the northwest suggests localized industrial activity. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and numerous water wells, essential for life in this arid Kansas environment.
