1966 Map of Syracuse East SW

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Lamont terrain in Hamilton County defines this mid-1960s topographic study, capturing a high plains landscape characterized by a sparse but deliberate network of rural institutions and early energy development. The presence of the Ebenflure Ch and an adjacent Cem near the township boundary serves as a primary social landmark for the area's farming community. This survey, conducted using photogrammetric methods from 1963 aerial photography, reveals a shift toward industrial extraction in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Localized economic activity is evidenced by Gravel Pits and several scattered Gas Well sites, which represent the integration of natural resource exploitation into the traditional agricultural grid. The map meticulously records the township and range lines, including R. 40 W. and R. 41 W., providing a clear spatial framework for researchers tracing land ownership and early energy leases in Western Kansas.
