USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
The Missouri Pacific railroad cuts a straight line through the heart of the Kansas prairie, anchoring the agricultural settlements of Benton and Towanda. This mid-century landscape is defined by the winding course of the Whitewater River and its tributaries, including West Branch and Rock Creek. While the terrain is predominantly rural, the presence of an Oil Field with numerous scattered Oil Wells and storage tanks indicates the importance of mineral extraction to the local economy.
