About this map

Attica serves as the primary hub in this Harper County landscape, defined by its grid layout and junction of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. The settlement's infrastructure in the early 1970s is well-documented, featuring the Attica Cem on the western outskirts and local aviation facilities like the Goemann Landing Strip and Attica Landing Field.

Beyond the town, the terrain is shaped by the drainage patterns of West Branch Bluff Creek and Beaver Creek. The rural character is punctuated by localized resource extraction, including a Sandpit and scattered energy sites like a Gas Well. The small settlement of Midway sits to the southwest, connected by roads that bridge the various branches of Sandy Creek and Camp Creek, illustrating the transport network essential to this Kansas farming community during the mid-century era.
