1960 Map of Deerfield SW

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The High Plains of western Kansas are defined here by a widespread network of subterranean energy extraction across the Southside and Kendall townships. This 1960 survey, updated with 1977 aerial data, reveals a landscape dominated by the Hugoton Gas Area’s infrastructure, where dozens of individual Gas Well sites are positioned with mathematical precision across the terrain. The topography is marked by subtle depressions and the absence of established surface water, reflecting the arid environment of Kearny County during this era of intensive mid-century resource development. While largely devoid of residential settlements or town centers, the map documents the intricate grid of access roads and pipelines that transformed the prairie into an industrial corridor.
