1951 Map of Wright Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Wright Valley and the surrounding Sandhills of McPherson County are defined by a network of family-run operations and isolated rural institutions during the mid-twentieth century. This survey, compiled from 1946 aerial photography, reveals a dispersed cattle-ranching economy where homesteads like Connell Ranch, Pinkerton Ranch, and Qualley Ranch serve as the primary landmarks across the rolling terrain. The map captures the social infrastructure of this sparsely populated landscape through its numbered educational centers, including School No 52 and School No 58, which were often the only community hubs for miles.
