1968 Map of Blackwell NW

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Chikaskia River snakes across the Oklahoma-Kansas border in this late 1960s survey, defining the rural character of northern Kay County. Near the state line, the town of Hunnewell sits adjacent to the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which cuts a sharp diagonal through the prairie landscape. The area is marked by a blend of agricultural and industrial signatures, from the Triumph Cem and Asbury Ch to active resource extraction at the Webb North Oil Field and scattered Oil Wells. Significant water features like Lake Blackwell and the rocky stretches of Rock Falls contrast with the numerous meandering tributaries such as Bluff Creek, Sand Creek, and Doe Creek. This map captures a specific moment in the region's development, documenting localized landmarks like the Camp of the Cross and the Fox Landing Strip used by local aviators.
