About this map

Englewood serves as the focal point of this 1970s landscape, situated just north of the Kansas Oklahoma state line. The town's grid is clearly defined, featuring a Water Tank and proximity to the Englewood Cem. A significant historical landmark, the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, bisects the southern portion of the sheet, providing a distinct geographic marker of earlier tribal land agreements and surveying history.

Industrial activity is evidenced by several Gas Wells and a Pumping Sta, reflecting the region's energy development alongside traditional ranching terrain. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad runs diagonally across the plains, following the natural corridors carved by Big Sandy Creek and Antelope Creek. Notable water features such as the Blue Hole and Perry Lake punctuate the landscape, while the confluence of Bullard Creek and Fivemile Creek near the town site illustrates the local drainage patterns crucial to this prairie environment.
