1969 Map of York SW

About this map

Beaver Creek and its tributaries carve a winding path across this agricultural landscape in York County, where the 1969 topography reveals a section of the Great Plains defined by orderly townships and growing modern infrastructure. The map documents a significant era of institutional and educational history, featuring the State Reformatory for Women in the northeast and Centennial Sch in the southeast. This period also captures the footprint of Interstate 80 bisecting the terrain, complete with a designated Rest Area. Rural life is anchored by local landmarks like Council Ch and Butler Cem, while the land itself is partitioned into sections under Bradshaw, Lockridge, Brown, Baker, Henderson, and Hays townships. Numerous wells dot the landscape, indicating the intensive water management required for the region's farming economy.
