1966 Map of Syracuse West

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Arkansas River corridor dominates this mid-1960s landscape, flanked by complex irrigation works including the Alamo Ditch and Fort Aubrey Ditch. These canals reflect the critical water management necessary for agriculture on the high plains of Western Kansas. South of the river, the terrain shifts abruptly into the rolling Shifting Sand hills, while to the north, the town of Syracuse serves as the regional hub. The map captures a period of mid-century development, evidenced by the presence of a Drive-in Theater, the Syracuse-Hamilton County Airport, and an active Gas Field. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad provides the primary industrial artery, running parallel to the river and connecting local landmarks such as the Fairground and Syracuse Cemetery to the broader rail network of the era.
