1957 Map of Venango

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The Union Pacific railroad corridor defines the northern landscape of this region, passing through the small settlements of Terra Cotta and Arcola. This 1957 survey captures the area following the mid-century engineering of the Smoky Hill River valley, anchored by the Kanopolis Dam and the expansive Kanopolis Lake. Near the lake's edge, the town of Venango and the Kanopolis Landing Field serve as local landmarks. The terrain transitions from the alluvial bottomlands to the prominent Smoky Hill Range and high points like Buzzard Roost. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies specific burial sites including the Terra Cotta Cem and Summit Cem, preserving the location of early rural communities near Spring Creek and Wiley Creek.
