1972 Map of Ashland NW

About this map

St Jacobs Well and the nearby Little Basin anchor the northwestern portion of this Clark County landscape, revealing the unique geological depressions that characterize the High Plains region in the early 1970s. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems including Keiger Creek, Antelope Creek, and Little Sandy Creek, which carve through the plains toward the southern township boundaries. A Gaging Station on the creek bank and a prominent pipeline corridor show the managed water and energy infrastructure of the era. To the east, Beckys Knob rises as a distinct landmark above the surrounding creek beds. The map reflects a period of established land divisions, separating Englewood Center while maintaining the vast, open character of the Kansas prairie before modern intensification.
