1972 Map of Belpre
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
Belpre serves as the focal point of this southwestern Kansas landscape, situated where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad crosses the plains. The 1970s survey reveals a region defined by agricultural parcels and an extensive energy infrastructure, with numerous Oil Wells and Gas Wells dotting the township boundaries of Farmington, Belpre, and Lincoln. Water is scarce in this high-plains environment, represented primarily by the seasonal channels of Wild Horse Creek and Clear Creek. The town itself is marked by local utilities including a Substation and a Radio Tower, reflecting the modern technical needs of this rural community. Researchers will find the map captures a specific era of resource extraction and transit, evidenced by the high concentration of wells and the prominent rail line that historically shaped the town's development.
