1962 Map of Venango NW

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The South Platte River cuts across the northwest corner of this plains landscape, paralleled by the vital Union Pacific rail corridor. This 1962 field-checked survey highlights the rural infrastructure of Sedgwick County, including the County Fairground situated near the Julesburg City Bdy. The map illustrates the region's transition from a river-and-rail economy toward early energy development, marked by the presence of Gas Wells and several Wells scattered across the high ground. Local education centers like Liberty Sch and North Plainview Sch appear as essential landmarks for regional genealogists. This study also documents the precise Colo Nebr State Line, showing how political boundaries intersect with the natural topography and the industrial footprint of a Gravel Pit.
