1974 Map of Dittons Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Stinking Water Creek and its seasonal tributaries carve a complex drainage pattern through the Chase County landscape, as documented in this 1974 field survey. The area is defined by its agricultural reliance on groundwater, evidenced by numerous wells scattered across the township sections. This mid-1970s record highlights the rural infrastructure of the High Plains, where natural waterways like Dittons Creek and Spring Creek dictate the local topography. Human activity is focused on resource extraction and land management, centered around a localized Gravel Pit and an extensive network of field lines and fences that partition the plains. The map provides a clear view of the transition between the rolling uplands and the creek bottoms before modern center-pivot irrigation further transformed the regional agricultural footprint.
