About this map

The Alameda and Basil areas of Kingman County define this portion of the Kansas plains, where agriculture and energy extraction coexist along the drainage of the S Fork Ninnescah River. The landscape is organized by a strict grid of section roads, including S Berry Ave and SE 30 Ave, punctuated by the localized activity of the Alameda Oil and Gas Field and the Basil Oil and Gas Field.

Genealogists will find the locations of Bethany Cem and Hunt Cem preserved here, while hydrologic features such as Johnson Lake, Christopher Lake, and several winding waterways like Rose Bud Cr and Sand Cr break the geometric regularity of the terrain. The presence of Oil Well Rd highlights the specific industrial history of this rural corridor, providing a clear record of the intersection between land use and natural resources in the early 21st century.
