2012 Map of Bluff City NW

About this map

The Freeport Oil Field and the Freeport South Oil and Gas Field dominate the eastern landscape of this 2012 survey, signaling the persistent role of petroleum extraction in rural Harper County. The terrain is structured by a rigorous grid of section-line roads, including Ne 50 RD and Berlin Rd, which divide the vast agricultural tracts typical of south-central Kansas. Interspersed among these modern thoroughfares are natural drainage systems such as Silver Cr and Rock Cr, which meander southward across the township lines. Aviation interests are represented by the Kaypod Airport in the northern portion of the quadrangle, while the presence of the Stohrville Oil Field near the southern boundary further underscores the area's industrial character. This map documents a landscape defined by the intersection of traditional Kansas agriculture and the infrastructure of the energy sector.
