1965 Map of Windom

About this map

Windom serves as the primary hub in this Kansas landscape during the mid-1960s, situated along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of the Little Arkansas River and its various tributaries, including Wolf Creek, Salt Creek, and Sharps Creek. The map reveals a diversified mid-century economy where traditional agriculture intersects with the energy industry, as evidenced by the Odessa Oil Field and the Welch Bornholdt Oil Field.
