1979 Map of Spica

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The small settlement of Spica sits at the center of this High Plains landscape, where the North Fork Saline River and South Fork Saline River carve subtle drainage patterns through the western Kansas terrain. Based on aerial photography from the mid-1970s, the map illustrates a region defined by large-scale agricultural operations, including a prominent Feedlot and various Gravel Pits that support local infrastructure. The Union Pacific railroad cuts diagonally across the northern townships of Summers and South Randall, marking the vital transport corridor that traditionally sustained these prairie communities. This survey captures the rural layout of the area shortly before the 1980s, detailing the section lines and township boundaries of Thomas and Logan counties as they meet near the districts of Monument and Oakley.
