1972 Map of Sunol
USGS Topo · Published 1975About this map
Lodgepole Creek meanders across this High Plains landscape, anchoring the local economy and transport corridor in Cheyenne County. In the early 1970s, the Union Pacific rail line parallels the creek, serving the small community of Sunol and nearby Knapp. The map reveals the area's industrial character, with an extensive Oil Field and scattered Oil Wells marking the northern plateau, while evidence of rural infrastructure like the Liberty Sch and a local Substation point to the organized settlement of the mid-20th century. Topography is defined by the sharp transition between the irrigated creek valley and the surrounding uplands, where family-named landmarks like Johnson stand alongside numerous Wells and Gravel Pits. This survey captures the region as a hub of energy production and traditional rail-based commerce.
