The Butterfield Trail and the Approximate Overland Trail cut across this High Plains landscape, marking historic transportation routes that once linked the frontier. The mid-1970s terrain is defined by the winding course of the Smoky Hill River and an extensive network of industrial development. Energy extraction is prominent throughout the region, with the West Ellis Oil Field, Solburn Oil Field, and Groff Oil Field showing numerous active Oil Wells.
