1970 Map of West of St. Theresa Church

About this map

High plains terrain defines this 1970 survey of Greeley County, dominated by the expansive boundary of Tribune which spans the central portion of the sheet. The landscape is marked by a network of intermittent stream beds and drainage patterns characteristic of western Kansas, where water management and resource extraction are primary features. Land use is reflected in localized industrial markers such as the Gravel Pit located in the southern sections, and evidence of energy exploration is seen in the presence of a Gas Well. The topography is precisely rendered by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with Kansas state agencies, documenting the section lines and rural infrastructure of the era.
