1959 Map of Ulysses

About this map

The town of Ulysses serves as the focal point for this 1959 survey, showing the community's mid-century expansion through residential blocks and public infrastructure. Educational facilities like Sullivan Sch, High Sch, and Joyce Sch anchor the town center, while a Hospital and County Fairground occupy the western edge. This map documents a landscape defined by natural drainage and modern transport, where Lakin Draw moves southward toward the North Fork Cimarron River. The prominence of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line and a large Pipeline network reflects the region's reliance on transit and industrial transport. Purple revisions from 1977 reveal suburban growth, including several Trailer Parks and a Drive-in Theater east of the main settlement. Outside the town, the Ulysses Cem and a Golf Course near City Park mark the transition into the surrounding plains of Lincoln township.
