1970 Map of Tribune

About this map

Tribune and the adjacent settlement of Horace serve as the primary hubs of activity in this High Plains region, centered along the east-west corridor of the Missouri Pacific railroad. The landscape is defined by vast agrarian sections under the jurisdictions of Tribune, Colony, and Harrison townships. Water is a scarce and defining resource here, with the ephemeral White Woman Creek carving a winding path across the northern reaches of the quadrangle. Local infrastructure is concentrated around the town sites, including the Fairground and the Tribune Municipal Airport. Genealogists may find particular value in the location of the Greeley County Cem, situated north of the airport. The map reflects a period of established agricultural stabilization in Western Kansas, where the rectilinear grid of section lines and state routes like 96 and 27 dictate the movement of goods and people.
