1959 Map of Garden City 3 NE

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Wild Horse Lake sits as a primary hydrologic landmark in this western Kansas landscape, which is marked by the shifting boundaries of Ivanhoe and Lockport townships. The map documents an era of significant petroleum exploration, with dozens of gas wells scattered across the high plains, particularly north of the Finney and Haskell County line. This grid-based land pattern is interrupted only by natural depressions and the subtle topography of the Great Plains. The transition from the late 1950s to the late 1970s is captured through photogrammetric revisions, showing the expansion of rural infrastructure around the area of Pierceville and throughout Haskell County. These details provide a clear view of the mid-century agricultural and energy-driven economy that reshaped the region's flatlands.
