1966 Map of Bazine
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
Walnut Creek and Dry Walnut Creek meander through this Western Kansas landscape, dictating the placement of early infrastructure and industry. The town of Bazine is the primary hub, situated along the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. This 1966 field-checked survey reveals an economy deeply tied to the earth's resources, with numerous Quarries and a Sandpit dotting the creek valleys. To the north, the Bazine Cem serves as a significant landmark for genealogists, while the southern reaches of the quadrangle are defined by the development of the Margheim Oil Field and Schaben Oil Field. These oil fields, concentrated near the High Point terrain, indicate the post-war industrial shift in Ness County as petroleum extraction expanded alongside traditional ranching and rail transport.
