1966 Map of Syracuse West NW

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Coolidge and Medway townships define this corner of Hamilton County, where the High Plains landscape is marked by unique geomorphology. Large swaths of Shifting Sand dominate the northern terrain, indicating an active dune environment north of the Arkansas River valley. The map documents the mid-century infrastructure of the region, including a Pipeline corridor and local industry represented by an Oil Well and a Gravel Pit. Genealogists may find interest in the Sunnyvale Cem, located in the western portion of the sheet. Further south, the topography transitions toward the Bear Creek drainage, showing the characteristic draws and sections that define the rural Kansas grid. A lone Radio Tower stands as a prominent man-made landmark in this otherwise open prairie landscape.
