2009 Map of Bazine SW

About this map

The Pawnee River and Sand Creek carve through the agricultural landscape of Ness County in this 2009 survey, illustrating the persistence of rural landmarks in western Kansas. The map focuses on a region defined by its energy production and historical markers, notably the Schaben Oil Field and the Bondurant Oil Field. These industrial sites sit alongside quieter spaces of local heritage, including the Saint John the Baptist Cemetery and Crandall Cemetery. The topography reveals a network of section roads that organize the high plains, providing a detailed view of how geography and industry intersect in this part of the state at the end of the decade.
