USDA Aerial Maps of Gray County KS

1952

(THESE ARE NOT STORED AT CIMARRON CITY LIBRARY)

This digitized collection is an aerial survey of the entire county. It consists of 263 maps (332 images), including four maps used as index maps dividing the county into four areas: NW, NE, SW, SE. The index numbers have been written on the sections with red ink (very dim to see) and these were used by the conservation agents. The images were taken in swaths with the plane flying North and South. They started on the East side of the county on June 22, 1952 and finished on October 26, 1952. (They did not go directly East to West in the county, but jumped around a bit.) Many of the maps overlap one another due to the method of photography. Also, there may be more than one Township/Range per map. Most of the maps have written notations on the back. (The backs have not been scanned, but an inventory list exists that notes the notations). There are also maps present with no physical descriptions; they have NOT been scanned, as the location/physical description is unknown.


    NOTES:
  • The maps that have the Index Numbers: 4-6 through 4-17 (with the exception of 4-15) were incorrectly numbered on the photographs. The Ranges on the West (left) side of the photos should be R30 NOT R29. This has been noted in the inventory list in the "Notes" section. They have been placed in the correct locations in the scans. This is due to the correction line.
  • The maps that have the Index Numbers: 7-8 through 7-19 were incorrectly numbered on the photographs. The Ranges on the West (left) side of the photos should be R29 NOT R28. This has been noted in the inventory list in the "Notes" section. They have been placed in the correct locations in the scans. This is due to the correction line.

The collection has been divided by Township/Range/Sections and can be found:
