1959 Map of Garden City 3 NW

About this map

Haskell Co and Finney Co meet in this landscape of southwestern Kansas, where the High Plains are defined by an intensive subterranean economy. The survey reveals a dense network of energy extraction across Ivanhoe, Dudley, and Haskell townships, evidenced by dozens of Gas Wells and the occasional Oli Well. These individual wells are connected by a web of light-duty and unimproved roads that cut across the section lines of the rural grid. While the industrial footprint is pervasive, evidence of community life remains at Valley Sch, a local landmark for families in this corner of the county. The topography is subtle, characterized by the gentle depressions and rises typical of this prairie region, with elevations meticulously recorded through numerous bench marks and spot elevations across the terrain.
