About this map

Ivanhoe and Lockport townships define this stretch of the High Plains at the close of the 1950s. The landscape is characterized by a dense grid of section lines and the emerging energy economy, marked by dozens of Gas Wells scattered across the prairie. This transition to industrial extraction occurs alongside a surviving network of early rural community centers, including Pleasant Valley Sch and Lake View Sch. In the southwestern corner, the Ivanhoe Cem serves as a vital touchstone for local genealogy, marking the site of a once-aspiring settlement. The topography is largely defined by depressions and intermittent water features like Wild Horse Lake, showing the natural drainage patterns of Haskell County before modern agricultural intensification.
