1966 Map of Watrous
USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
The Santa Fe Trail (Cimarron Cutoff) traces a diagonal path across this high-plains landscape, crossing Wolf Creek and passing near Valmora before the terrain drops toward the canyon floor. At the junction of the Mora River and Sapello River sits the settlement of Watrous, a key point on the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. The agricultural development of the valley is evident through an intricate network of irrigation channels, including the Upper Clyde Ditch, Tipton Ditch, and the South Company Ditch. Historical land divisions are marked by the massive John Scolly grant boundary. Genealogists will find interest in the Tiptonville Cem and the settlement of Tiptonville, while the presence of an Old Railroad Grade and several gravel pits indicates the area's industrial and transportation history.
