1979 Map of Wallace
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
Fort Wallace (Site) stands as a focal point for this western Kansas landscape, where the historical layer of frontier defense meets the late-twentieth-century topography. The map illustrates a complex network of dry draws and canyons, such as Depperschmidt Draw and Homestead Canyon, which feed into the valley of the Smoky Hill River. The presence of the Butterfield Overland Trail trace, running parallel to the Union Pacific railroad, highlights the enduring importance of this east-west transit corridor across the High Plains.
