1957 Map of Westfall SW

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Elkhorn Creek and its various tributaries define the agricultural landscape along the Lincoln County and Ellsworth County line during the late 1950s. The map illustrates a rural area organized by the township system, featuring Sherman, Garfield, and Ellsworth townships. The drainage patterns of East Oak Creek, Spring Creek, and Clear Creek reveal how the water network influenced the placement of section roads and farmsteads across this central Kansas terrain. A notable modernization in the southern portion of the sheet is the Ellsworth Airport, which, along with several prominently marked Towers, signifies the evolving infrastructure of the mid-20th century. For those researching local land use, the presence of a Pit suggests small-scale resource extraction amidst the dominant ranching and farming operations of the period.
