1962 Map of Venango
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
The borderlands of the Colorado-Nebraska state line define this high-plains landscape, where the town of Venango serves as a small rail hub along the Chicago Burlington and railroad. Located in Perkins County, the settlement is compactly organized around local amenities including an Athletic Field, Ball Park, and a prominent Water Tank near the tracks. The surrounding terrain is marked by rolling dunes and intermittent drainage features, most notably Sand Creek, which winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle. Transportation and aviation interests of the early 1960s are evident in the presence of the Dudden Landing Strip and the Quincy road. This survey captures a moment when rural infrastructure, from the local Gravel Pit to the precise section line boundaries of Sedgwick and Perkins Counties, reflects a deeply surveyed and agricultural landscape.
