1960 Map of Garden City 3 SE

About this map

The High Plains of Haskell County come into focus through the industrial and infrastructure markers of the early 1960s. This landscape is defined by the energy economy, with numerous Gas Well sites and Oil Wells scattered across the township grid of Haskell and Lockport. The terrain is sparsely populated, yet the presence of the Haskell Cem and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad in the southern corner highlights the essential connections for this rural community. A particularly interesting relic of early water management is the Abandoned Canal cutting through the center of the sheet, reflecting former attempts to irrigate the semi-arid Kansas prairie before modern methods took hold. Local historians can trace the transition from early surface water engineering to the subsurface extraction era that dominated the mid-century period.
