1962 Map of Venango SW

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Sand Draw State Wildlife Area centers this portion of Sedgwick County, capturing the rural character of the High Plains as it appeared during a 1962 field check. This survey, part of the Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, reveals a landscape defined by intermittent drainage and isolated educational outposts. The presence of the Rolling Prairie Sch and South Plainview Sch indicates the historical distribution of rural school districts across this agricultural terrain. Topographic contours illustrate the subtle relief of the plains, where the seasonal waters of Sand Draw and Sand Creek have carved shallow paths through the sediment. The map provides a clear record of section lines and unimproved dirt roads that connected these remote prairie communities before the modernization of the regional transport network.
