1966 Map of Syracuse West SW

About this map

Bear Creek and its tributary, North Bear Creek, dominate this Hamilton County landscape as it appeared in the mid-1960s. The terrain is defined by a series of high plains and draws, where water management and extraction are central to local life. Local landmarks like Bear Creek Cem and School No C-2 provide clear points of reference for genealogists and local historians tracking rural development in this part of Kansas. A network of unimproved dirt roads and light-duty paths connect scattered sites labeled simply as Wells or Well, indicating the critical nature of groundwater for the region's agricultural and industrial infrastructure. The presence of a Pipeline and a Gravel Pit further illustrates the intersection of natural resources and mid-century utility expansion in the high plains south of Syracuse.
