1968 Map of Cimarron NE

About this map

Foote Township in western Kansas is defined by the high plains topography of the late 1960s, where the landscape is etched by the winding path of Buckner Creek. This survey, based on 1965 aerial photography and field-checked in 1968, reveals a sparsely populated agricultural environment characterized by a systematic grid of section lines and numerous irrigation or stock wells. A solitary Landing Strip in the southwest quadrant serves as a testament to the vast distances and the reliance on light aircraft for transport and farm management in this rural stretch of Gray County. The map provides a precise look at the drainage patterns and subtle elevation changes across the township before further modern land-use intensification.
