1968 Map of Blackwell NW

About this map

The Chikaskia River winds across the Kansas-Oklahoma border in this late 1960s survey, marking a landscape defined by both agriculture and early petroleum extraction. In Kay County, the Webb North Oil Field indicates the industrial footprint of the region, complemented by scattered Oil Wells and a Gas Well near the northern boundary. Settlement is concentrated around the community of Hunnewell, while the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad provides a primary transit corridor through the river valley. Local life is anchored by landmarks such as Asbury Ch and the Triumph Cem. The terrain is characterized by the prominent Bluff and the hydraulic features of Rock Falls, while recreational or social spaces like Lake Blackwell and the Camp of the Cross suggest the area's role beyond production and transit.
