About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary cuts across this mid-1960s landscape, marking a historical division in a region shaped by both cattle ranching and petroleum extraction. The drainage network of Grouse Creek and its tributaries, including Wagoner Creek and Ferguson Creek, dictates the movement of cattle through this section of the Flint Hills. High-country landmarks such as Ferguson Ranch sit alongside evidence of the era's energy economy, with the Grand Summit Oil Field and Manessah Oil Field scattered across the township lines. Transportation through these uplands was dominated by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which snakes through the eastern terrain. Local history is anchored by the Glen Grouse Cem, providing a fixed point of reference for genealogists within a landscape of shifting ranch boundaries and active oil leases.
